Validation of a whole blood coagulometer sensitive to the direct oral anticoagulants

Point-of-care coagulometer

Perosphere Technologies’ PoC coagulometer is a handheld, battery-operated device that uses disposable, microfluidic cuvettes made of silicon and glass for clotting time measurements (Fig. 1)³. Test strips contain no chemical or biological reagents and clotting is initiated through contact of a blood sample with the glass surfaces inside a cuvette. The coagulometer employs an optical measurement scheme based on…
