Key facts

• Clot formation and Platelet function.glass bead induced panel - Blood by Microviscometry
• Clot formation & Platelet function.glass bead induced panel
• The glass bead induced clot formation by microviscometry panel is intended for general purpose global hemostasis monitoring. The monitoring information is typically used for anticoagulant management at low to moderate heparin levels, screening for coagulopathies, and hyperfibrinolysis screening. This panel is not intended for high does heparin management during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, however, this panel dose include a clot retraction result to assess platelet function.
