Evaluation of the Q Smart Coagulation Analyzer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Q Smart system (Diagnostic Grifols, Barcelona, Spain) comprises the Q Smart analyzer and the following DG reagents (Diagnostic Grifols) for each test: DG-PT RecombiLIQ for prothrombin time (PT), DG-APTT Synth for activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), DG-TT L Human for thrombin time (TT), DG-APTT Synth/DG-FVIII for FVIII, DG-Latex DDimer for d-dimer, and DG-Chrom AT L for Antithrombin(AT). ACL TOP 500 analyzer and Hemosil reagents from Instrumentation Laboratory (Bedford, Massachusetts) were used for comparison in the following tests: Hemosil Recombiplastin 2G for PT, Hemosil APTT-SP (liquid) for APTT, Hemosil Thrombin Time for TT, and Hemosil APTT-SP (liquid)/Hemosil FVIII Deficient Plasma for FVIII. For comparison in the d-dimer and AT tests, the BCS XP coagulometer and reagents were used (Siemens AG, Munich, Germany). Additionally, the PT assay was also performed with the CoaguChek XS point-of-care_POC (Roche, Indianapolis, Indiana).

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kinetics of turbidity development during activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reactions allowed indirect assessment of clot structure. Plasma samples from individual HemA donors (HRF, Inc, Raleigh, NC, USA) were spiked with FVIII (0%–100%), and the aPTT and fibrinogen assays were performed with the HemosIL APTT-SP and Fibrinogen-C kits, respectively (Instrumentation Laboratory [IL], Bedford, MA, USA), using on-board ACL TOP tests. HemA and control clots were prepared using similar conditions as the aPTT assay using HemA and pooled plasma from healthy donors (HRF, Inc), respectively. CT was determined from the second derivative of the turbidity change over time, and turbidity waveform data were extracted from the ACL TOP using proprietary software developed by Bayer Business Services (Leverkusen, Germany). Changes in turbidity parameters were correlated with changes in CTs and with fibrinogen levels.
Direct visualization of plasma clots were achieved by confocal microscopy of plasma. HemA plasma clots were prepared as described above for turbidity assessment, except that Alexa 488–labeled fibrinogen (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was added to the plasma before clot formation. Three-dimensional image data sets of clots were collected with a Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Reconstructions of 60 z-sections were computed.

Coagulation Assays for Heparin Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
aPTT was determined using HemosIL aPTT-SP (silicate activator; Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). Fifty microlitres of patient plasma were mixed with 50 µl of aPTT-SP. TT is a coagulation test measuring the time to fibrin formation after adding thrombin.23 Because of a high sensitivity for heparin, two thrombin concentrations are necessary to cover the full spectrum of heparin concentration. We used 3 U/mL (TT 1) and 7.5 U/mL (TT 2) of bovine thrombin (HemosIL TT; Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). TT 2 was determined in case of an unclottable TT 1 corresponding to a high concentration of heparin. Anti-Xa activity was determined using HemosIL liquid anti-Xa (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA), calibrated with HemosIL heparin calibrators. PiCT was measured using Pefakit PiCT (DSM Pentapharm, Basel, Switzerland). The test has been described in detail elsewhere.19 24 (link) Briefly, 50 µL of patient plasma was incubated for 180 s with an activator containing activated factor Xa, phospholipids and Russell’s viper venom. Coagulation was initiated with calcium chloride and clotting time (s) measured. All analyses were performed on an ACL TOP 300 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA).

Dabigatran Concentration Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DC at the trough and peak times was calculated using HemosIL® direct thrombin inhibitor assay (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, MA, USA). This assay is a dilute thrombin time test, which is based on the reaction between dabigatran and exogenous thrombin added to the diluted patient plasma. The associated clotting time was measured using the ACL TOP hemostasis testing system (Instrumentation Laboratory), and then the concentration of dabigatran was estimated from the reference curve of the known plasma standard of dabigatran using HemosIL® dabigatran calibrators (Instrumentation Laboratory). The trough or peak ΔDC ratio was defined as the trough or peak DC in the period without PPI minus the corresponding DC in the period with PPI divided by the trough or peak DC in the period with PPI. Trough and peak aPTTs were measured using HemosIL® APTT-SP (Instrumentation Laboratory).

Kinetics of turbidity development during activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reactions allowed indirect assessment of clot structure. Plasma samples from individual HemA donors (HRF, Inc, Raleigh, NC, USA) were spiked with FVIII (0‐100%), and the aPTT and fibrinogen assays were performed with the HemosIL APTT‐SP and Fibrinogen‐C kits, respectively (Instrumentation Laboratory [IL], Bedford, MA, USA), using on‐board ACL TOP tests. HemA and control clots were prepared using similar conditions as the aPTT assay using HemA and pooled plasma from healthy donors (HRF, Inc), respectively. CT was determined from the second derivative of the turbidity change over time, and turbidity waveform data were extracted from the ACL TOP using proprietary software developed by Bayer Business Services (Leverkusen, Germany).

Chromogenic Anti-Xa Assay for Liquid Heparin Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HemosIL Liquid Heparin Kit (Instrumentation Laboratory, Lexington, KY, USA) was used for the chromogenic AXA assay. This 1-stage assay is based on the reaction between FXa and a synthetic chromogenic substrate. For Liquid Heparin, 10 μl of plasma were mixed with 100 μl chromogenic substrate Baseline, first peak and trough and steady-state trough and peak anti-factor Xa activity (AXA) in 25 patients. The respective measurements were 0.01±0.02 IU/ml, 0.83±0.43 IU/ml, 0.34±0.17 IU/ml, 0.92±0.52 IU/ml, and 1.61±0.62 IU/ml. First trough AXA was significantly lower than steady-state trough AXA, although it was significantly higher than baseline. Similarly, first peak AXA was significantly lower than steady-state peak AXA. OSANAI H et al.
PT was measured using HemosIL RecombiPlasTin (Instrumentation Laboratory), and aPTT was measured using HemosIL APTT-SP (Instrumentation Laboratory).

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.
