Bio/Data Corporation's coagulation products are designed to provide the required
sensitivity, specificity, and performance for the diagnostic test systems used in today's
laboratories.

Bio/Data Corporation offers coagulation reagents, to laboratories worldwide, which are
crucial for the detection, diagnosis and management of coagulation function
abnormalities in hemostasis disorders, like heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
that affect the extrinsic, intrinsic, and common hemostatic pathways, as well as for the
monitoring of patients undergoing aspirin therapy and oral anticoagulation treatment
(OAT). While some coagulation reagents are used for routine tests, such as ristocetin
induced platelet aggregation (RIPA), others like Thrombinex® (bovine thrombin) and
Platelet Extract Reagent (Lupus Anticoagulant Assay) are for special tests. Platelet
Extract Reagent carries the CE Mark.

Blood Coagulation techniques are classified into broad spectrum tests and specific
clotting assays. There are two main systems: the tissue (extrinsic) clotting system,
and the blood (intrinsic) clotting system. The broad spectrum test for the extrinsic
system is the prothrombin time, and for the intrinsic test for the extrinsic system is the
prothrombin time, and for the intrinsic system, the partial thromboplastin (cephalin)
time. Prior to the development of the standardized tissue thromboplastin reagent,
prothrombin time results and the International Normalization Ration or INR on a given
blood specimen varied considerably from hospital to hospital, largely because of the
differences in laboratory methods.As a pioneer in the hemostasis monitoring industry,
Bio/Data Corporation has developed a series of coagulation controls to be used as
reference material for coagulation tests.
