Comparison of prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time on Dade Auto-FI and Bio-Quest Fibrometer
Abstract:
Plasma assay results for prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time obtained on the fully automated Dade Auto-FI were compared with those obtained on the more traditional semi-automated Bio-Quest Fibrometer. The precision data showed in a majority of cases the superior reproducibility of the Auto-FI over the fibrometer. However, we found that results of APTT utilizing both methodologies were not at present interchangeable.
