Artes Biotechnology GmbH is offering the world-wide first approach for the determination of almost all measurement parameters in blood analysis in a single test tube – the Universal Blood Test Tube (UBT).
The UBT, strongly protected by an international patent family (WO 97/044661), is based on the use of a special anti-coagulant, i.e. recombinant Hirudin, enabling the blood measuring parameters to be determined rapidly and reliably within a short time interval.
The approach can operate in an automated manner with whole human blood in a novel method and in such an anticoagulated fashion that the blood sample can simultaneously be used for the determination of
This method is a considerable improvement of the current routine practice resulting in a substantial decrease of the necessary blood volume taken from the patient and a reduction of analysis tubes.
