Human antithrombin, prepared from human plasma, inactivates factor IIa (thrombin) and factor Xa, therefore can be used to determine the anti-FIIa and anti-FXa activities of heparin and LMWHs.
Applications
Human antithrombin can be used in many applications, such as:
1. Anti-factor Xa activity to anti-factor IIa activity ratios of heparin and LMWHs
2. Anti-factor IIa activities and anti-factor Xa activities of heparin and LMWHs
3. As a research reagent to investigate coagulation-related species
Composition
Human antithrombin is in form of white lyophilized powder stored in vials. Each vial contains: Human antithrombin 10 IU; Tris 60.5 mg.
