Summary
The FRET-based thrombin activity assay kit is basically a kit to measure the enzymatic activity of thrombin, arguably the central enzyme of the coagulation cascade, in various samples. The kit is meant for research as there is little clinical information about the significance of thrombin levels and, except in extremely rare circumstances, there is no need to determine the thrombin activity in order to change a patient's clinical management.
Analysis
With this kit AnaSpec is expanding its portofolio of assays using the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology. This helps it stay competitive in the field of fluorescent laboratory technology, which is dominated by Molecular Probes, a brand of Invitrogen.
