We describe a fully automated assay for determining effec-tive heparin activity in plasma, based on heparin-catalyzed inhibition of Factor Xa (EC 3.4.21.6) by antithrombin Ill (AT Ill). Residual Factor Xa is determined kinetically by the Du Pont aca#{174}discrete clinical analyzer with a chromogenic substrate and is inversely related to heparin activity. Because the test plasma is the sole source of AT Ill, the assay result is dependent on AT Ill activity and reflects effective rather than total heparin activity. The assay range is 20-1200 USP units/L, and the assay shows equivalent sensitivity to stan-dard and low-molecular-mass heparins. Within-run reproduc-ibility (CV) is 1.6 % at 390 units/L. There was no interference from common blood ...
