CRYOcheck™ Clot C is a clot-based assay intended for the quantitative determination of protein C activity in citrated human plasma. CRYOcheck Clot C functions by direct activation of protein C in the patient sample using a protein C activator. The common pathway of coagulation is initiated with Russell's viper venom (RVV-X) reagent to convert factor X to Xa, bypassing all factors above the common pathway.
