Factor VIII Chromogenic Bethesda Profile for Patients on Emicizumab

Order Code
504722
CPT
85240x2, 85335
Test Details
TAT

14 days

Methodology

The Nijmegen modification of the classic Bethesda inhibitor titration assay is used in a chromogenic factor VIII activity setting. Patient sample is heat-inactivated and clarified, then a serial dilution series is prepared in buffered normal plasma containing bovine serum albumin. A chromogenic factor activity is measured to determine residual activity and the inhibitor concentration is determined using an equation that relates the log % residualactivity to inhibitor titer.
