title: Screening of factor VIII:C levels in blood donors.
abstract: A new chromogenic peptide substrate method, modified for assay with semi-micro tubes, Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser and microplates, was used for screening of F VIII:C in blood donors. The precision of the assays is high and the costs are reasonable. The assay with microplates is especially suitable for selection of donors for a plasma programme and for quality control in blood banks.
