We. Carroll et al., A SEMI-MICRO METHOD FOR FIBRINOGEN DETERMINATION ESSENTIALLY UNAFFECTED BY TURBIDITY, Research communications in molecular pathology and pharmacology, 86(1), 1994, pp. 118-124
A semi-micro method (BR BLUE) is presented using Coomassie Brilliant B
lue G-250 color reagent for the determination of fibrinogen on potenti
ally turbid specimens. It is compared with the reference Clauss method
using the automated MLA(TM) Electra 1000C(TM) Automatic Coagulation T
imer and the semi-automated Mechrolab Clot Timer. Correlation is excel
lent (r=0.97). The BR BLUE method is also seen to be reasonably precis
e and linear.
