Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP) Assay*

The ETP assay offers a new measure of global coagulability. The Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Thrombin Generation Test is used for the determination of endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) in platelet poor plasma. The intended use has not yet been defined.

The endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) represents the balance between pro- and anti-coagulable processes in plasma and can be used to identify hypo- and hyper-coagulabiltiy. The ETP Assay is a functional assay for quantification of thrombin generation capacity. The evaluation of the reaction kinetic of the thrombin generation allows potential value for clinical diagnosis, drug monitoring and epidemiology. Results are automatically calculated by the BCS® System with the ETP analysis software.
