Preferred Label : Clauss Method;
NCIt definition : An in vitro method to determine the rate of fibrin clot formation, in which diluted
plasma (with thrombin-dependency removed) is mixed with high concentrations of thrombin.
This reaction is run in tandem with a control sample and compared.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An in vitro method to determine the plasma concentration of fibrin, based on
the correlation of fibrinogen concentration with the clotting time of diluted plasma
mixed with excess thrombin. The method is calibrated using a standard curve based
on plasma with decreasing fibrinogen concentrations.;
