title: The sulphite precipitation method for fibrinogen measurement; its use on small samples in the presence of fibrinogen degradation products.
abstract: A technique based on precipitation by sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) has been developed for measuring the fibrinogen concentration of small (100 mul) samples. This technique offers technical advantages over the thrombin-clotting method, especially when measuring dilute solutions. Measurements made with the sulphite technique on fibrinogen solutions on plasma samples were not significantly different from those obtained with the thrombin-clotting method.
