Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing agglutinatable platelet fragments, in which native platelets are treated with ultrasound and a fixative. The platelet fragments are suitable for use in diagnostic assay methods which include an agglutination reaction, such as, for example, in a method for determining VWF activity.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for measuring the aggregation or agglutination of platelets, where a reaction mixture is mixed in a first reaction phase, and is mixed less vigorously or not at all in a second reaction phase following the first, and the measurement is preferably carried out in the second reaction phase.

The present invention relates to a ready-to-use ristocetin cofactor test reagent possessing long-term stability for use in coagulation tests.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for instrument determination of measured variable L(t) which changes with time, the intention being to determine the maximum rate value of L(t) in a region with a linear reaction profile, and the time as well as the duration of the reaction time window being variable with the linear region and depending on the nature of the reaction and the reaction conditions. Specifically, the present invention relates to the determination of protein concentrations with the aid of light scatter, which is produced by specific antibodies, in homogeneous solutions. In particular, the invention relates to reactions which take place slowly and have a largely linear profile over a relatively long time, the rate of formation of antigen-antibody complexes in the linear section of the reaction (VMaxLin) being determined as the measured variable.
