P. Meijer et al., THE USE OF STABILYTE(R) PLASMA MAY CAUSE CHANGES IN PH IN THE ASSAY OF SOME FIBRINOLYSIS ANALYTES AND MIGHT EFFECT RESULTS, Fibrinolysis, 10, 1996, pp. 155-157
The use of Stabilyte(R) plasma in the Coaliza(R) t-PA, Coaliza(R) PAI-
1 and Enzygnost(R) PAP micro was evaluated. For PAI-1 antigen no, for
t-PA antigen only small differences were observed between measurements
in citrate and Stabilyte(R) plasma. For PAP-complexes significant low
er (72%) results were obtained when Stabilyte(R) plasma was applied, T
his is the result of a lower pH during the first step of the test in c
omparison with citrated plasma.
