Assay for measuring dabigatran, 12/15
December 2015—Diagnostica Stago launched its next-generation ecarin-based chromogenic assay for dabigatran, STA-ECA II. Fully automated with barcoded loading on Stago’s high throughput analyzers, STA-ECA II enables laboratories to measure dabigatran (Pradaxa) in plasma samples and is insensitive to lupus anticoagulants and heparin along with coagulation factor and fibrinogen levels.
