Von Willebrand Disease (VWD)
Part 3: VWF Activity Assay
A New von Willebrand Factor Activity Assay and Testing Algorithm
Performance Characteristics of VWF:Lx
June 2011
The key laboratory characteristics of the new VWF activity assay, are as follows:
The lower detection limit is 3 U/dL. Linearity is between 3 to 350 U/dL. The inter- and intra-precisions are all around 5%. Citrated plasma samples are stable for 8 hours at room temperature. This assay is fully automated on our TOP coagulation analyzers which could significantly improve test turn-around time.
