Ovine Plasma for heparin testing is used in assays to evaluate the anticoagulant activity of heparin. Heparin is an anticoagulant commonly used in medical practice to prevent the formation of unwanted blood clots.
The heparin test involves adding a known amount of heparin to a sample of Ovine Plasma. Plasma coagulation is then measured after the addition of an activating substance. The clotting time is recorded and compared with a reference time. Heparin prolongs clotting time, reflecting its anticoagulant activity.
This type of test is important for monitoring the dosage and effectiveness of heparin in human or animal patients who are receiving this medication. It is used to ensure that the dose of heparin is adequate to prevent blood clots without causing excessive bleeding. Additionally, the heparin test can also be used to check for the presence of heparin in biological samples or evaluate the activity of other anticoagulants.
The use of Ovine Plasma for this test occurs because Ovine Plasma has less interference from other clotting factors present in human blood, allowing a more accurate assessment of the anticoagulant activity of heparin.
