Improved method for euglobulin clot lysis time.
1. The use of Evans Blue dye to facilitate endpoint determination the elimination of 4 degrees, assay conditions are technical improvements in the euglobulin clot lysis test. 2. Plasma samples have limited stability at 30 degrees or 4 degrees, but are stable for prolonged periods at minus 20 degrees. Samples with accelerated clot lysis are much less stable than normal samples at 30 degrees. 3. The normal range is determined as greater than 70 minutes for citrated plasma and greater than 50 minutes for oxalated plasma. There is no sex difference in the normal range.
