Test principle
The CoaguChek XS PT test strip contains a lyophilized reagent (reagent in
dried form). The reactive components of this reagent consist of thrombo-
plastin and a peptide substrate. When a sample is applied, thromboplas-
tin activates coagulation, which leads to the formation of thrombin. At the
same time the monitor starts to measure the time. The enzyme thrombin
cleaves the peptide substrate, generating an electrochemical signal.
Depending on the time elapsed when it first appears, this signal is then
converted by means of an algorithm into customary coagulation units
(INR, %Quick, seconds) and the result is displayed.
