What are Coagulation Analyzers?

Coagulation analyzers are devices that test the efficacy of blood clotting. Physicians usually use these devices to identify defects and apply proper therapy for conditions associated with blood clotting. Such tools are highly relevant because the blood must clot just right, neither more than enough nor less than enough. The absence of such a balance could lead to serious health disorders.

Some disorders involve excessive bleeding because something goes wrong with the blood's clotting process. Disorders like hemophilia and Willebrand disease occur when the body lacks proteins for blood clotting. Coagulation analyzers help doctors identify these issues, treat them, and stop the bleeding effectively.

When clots form when they should not, other conditions result. These clots obstruct blood flow and cause issues, including deep vein thrombosis and stroke. By using coagulation analyzers, doctors can detect when someone is at risk for clots which may help in clot prevention.

Those who are on blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin, also have to get their blood checked quite frequently. Coagulation analyzers make sure such medications are appropriately working and not causing excessive bleeding. This becomes quite necessary in the case of people suffering from some form of heart ailment or having experienced blood clots in the past.

Doctors also use machines to determine the efficiency of blood clots before operations. Thus, they can tell beforehand what would prevent the patient from bleeding excessively during an operation. Automatic coagulation analyzers check blood clotting problems caused by liver conditions or diseases like lupus that affect clotting processes.

Some people can develop problems with blood clotting due to COVID-19, for instance. These help the doctor understand what is going on and prescribe the right medication. They are also useful in pregnant women, who may be producing blood clotting that might harm the baby.

In the end, these coagulation analyzers are needed to keep people healthy. Doctors use these tools, including ACL Top 350, to understand what went wrong with a patient. This helps them decide how to fix it. This tool prevents complications and helps doctors save lives.

How Coagulation Analyzers Work

Most coagulation analyzers add reagents to blood samples and carefully measure reactions to track clot formation. They often use optical, mechanical, or electrochemical methods for precise measurements. Furthermore, advanced models like the ACL Top family fully automate processes, performing multiple tests quickly. They are particularly vital in critical care, surgical preparation, and managing long-term anticoagulation therapy.

The ACL Top coagulation series includes models like the ACL Top 350 and ACL Top 750, each with unique features. The ACL 350 serves medium-sized labs with compact, efficient, and accurate coagulation testing. The ACL Top 750 supports high-volume facilities with advanced automation and rapid throughput. Both models integrate seamlessly into laboratory workflows.

350CTS offers high-throughput automation of coagulation tests in a way to reduce labor-intensive manual efforts and increases turnaround time for patients.
