A fluorescent spot test for coagulation factor XIII.
A new method is described for the rapid detection of coagulation factor XIII. The technique utilizes the amine monodansylcadaverine in a fluorescent spot test. The method allows the checking of large numbers of samples during purification procedures. This test can also be used to diagnose factor XIII deficiency in plasma samples.
