Vwf antigen

Manufactured by Siemens
Sourced in Germany

The VWF antigen is a laboratory equipment product designed to measure the levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in a sample. VWF is a blood plasma glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process. The VWF antigen test provides a quantitative measurement of the VWF protein in the sample, which can be used to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of various bleeding and clotting disorders.

Comprehensive Blood Coagulation Analysis

Blood samples were collected into 3 mL tubes (Sarstedt) containing 3.2% citrate. The samples were processed within 1 hour after the blood collection, centrifuged at 2000 g for 20 minutes to prepare platelet-poor plasma, aliquoted, and immediately stored at −80 °C. The aliquots were thawed directly before the analysis. Anti-Xa activity was determined with a chromogenic substrate and a bovine FXa (Hyphen BioMed), and a chromogenic anti-IIa assay with human thrombin (Hyphen BioMed) was used to measure anti-IIa activity. The FVIII activity was assessed by a one-stage clotting test (Siemens Healthineers). In addition, activities of D-dimer, prothrombin fragments, VWF antigen, and VWF (all purchased from Siemens Healthineers) were measured on a BCS analyzer (Siemens Healthineers). The TG assay was carried out on a Fluoroscan Ascent (Fisher Scientific) at a 390/460-nm wavelength using a calibrated automated thrombogram (Diagnostica Stago) activated with 5-pM tissue factor.

At site 1, VWF assays were performed by Siemens VWF antigen and Innovance VWF Ac (Marburg, Germany), a GP1bM VWF activity assay.2 All assays were performed on Sysmex CS5100i instrumentation (Kobe, Japan). VWF:CB was performed by ELISA using Technozym CBA (Technoclone, Vienna, Austria).
At site 2, VWF assays were performed by VWF Ac or VWF:RCo, and VWF:Ag using ACL TOP750CT instrumentation (all Werfen, Barcelona, Spain). VWF:CB was performed by Euroanalyser one (Euro Diagnostic Systems, Tamil Nadu, India) using Zymutest VWF:CBA kit (Hyphen Biomed, Neuville‐sur‐Oise, France).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
