Rate of fibrin formation [Units] in Blood by Microviscometry.kaolin induced

Rate of fibrin formation Bld Microviscometry.kaolin induced

Definition

  • Microviscometer analyzers used clinically for coagulation assays commonly report a unit for clot formation that monotonically increases with increasing viscosity but is not a standard viscosity unit such as centipoise. The clot unit produced by these assays has a long historical precedent. It is considered a measure of viscosity of a liquid prior to clot formation and the viscous component of a viscoelastic gel after clot formation, albeit reported on a continuous scale.
