Thrombin time (TT) test

Assay

Pathology, Clinical Pathology

Thrombin is an enzyme in blood that acts on fibrinogen (a clotting factor) to form fibrin, causing blood to clot. The thrombin time (TT), also known as the thrombin clotting time (TCT), is a blood test that measures the time it takes for a fibrin clot to form in the plasma of a blood sample. This assesses the activity of fibrinogen and is used to investigate excessive bleeding or inappropriate blood clot formation. The TT test is also sensitive to the presence of inhibitors in the plasma, such as heparin. The reference range for the thrombin time is usually less than 20 seconds. Prolonged time is suggestive of fibrinogen deficiency, abnormal fibrinogen structure or inhibition of thrombin by fibrinogen degradation products or heparin.

About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
