Spectrophotometric clotting assays using chromogenic substrates were adapted for use in a routine laboratory batch analyzer. Contrary to another described method the same plasma dilution can be used for each of the different coagulation parameters. Optimal assay conditions were determined. The within- and between-assay variation, the intraindividual variation during 1 day and from month-to-month were determined; the chromogenic assay was compared to a clotting assay. No significant difference (p less than 0.01) between manual and automated methods was found.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010958	Plasminogen	Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated as a thrombolytic agent.

D005170	Factor X	Storage-stable glycoprotein blood coagulation factor that can be activated to factor Xa by both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. A deficiency of factor X, sometimes called Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, may lead to a systemic coagulation disorder.

D000979	alpha-2-Antiplasmin	A member of the serpin superfamily found in plasma that inhibits the lysis of fibrin clots which are induced by plasminogen activator. It is a glycoprotein, molecular weight approximately 70,000 that migrates in the alpha 2 region in immunoelectrophoresis. It is the principal plasmin inactivator in blood, rapidly forming a very stable complex with plasmin.	alpha 2-Plasmin Inhibitor,Serpin F2,alpha(2)-Plasmin Inhibitor,alpha-2 Antiplasmin,alpha 2 Antiplasmin,alpha 2 Plasmin Inhibitor
D000990	Antithrombin III	A plasma alpha 2 glycoprotein that accounts for the major antithrombin activity of normal plasma and also inhibits several other enzymes. It is a member of the serpin superfamily.

D015951	Factor Xa	Activated form of factor X that participates in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of blood coagulation. It catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in conjunction with other cofactors.
