Thrombin Generation — Comparison of ROTEM and Technothrombin TGA

Measurement of thrombin generation (TG) with fluorimetric methods demands a high technical support. On the other hand ROTEM analyzer is used in many laboratories. Both methods allow the measurement of TG in platelet rich plasma. Using identical reagents and calculation procedures for both methods the results of both techniques are comparable. The basic ideas for this were published by Ingerslev et al. [1].
