Point-of-Care And Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Testing Market Analysis By 2020
Point of care Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) testing are majorly performed at the patient’s site. It provides rapid tests for the tests such as partial thromboplastin and activated partial thromboplastin as compared to other laboratory testing techniques. In addition, point of care offers immediate and convenient patient diagnosis option. Partial thromboplastin time test is primarily used to measure the blood clotting time of the patients. While, activated partial thromboplastin time (also known as kaolin cephalin clotting time) is also used to measure coagulation cascade i.e. blood clotting time of the individual. The only difference between PTT and APTT is the addition of activator in activated partial thromboplastin time in order to speed up the blood clotting time and results. For example, the average range for PTT clotting time is 60-70 seconds, while, the APTT clotting time is nearby 30-40 second.
