Abstract:
1. A kit for detecting antiphospholipid antibodies in a test plasma sample, comprising: (a) at least one negative control plasma sample; (b) at least one procoagulant test reagent suitable for activating the extrinsic coagulation pathway; and (c) a high phospholipid confirmatory substrate, wherein the high phospholipid confirmatory substrate is synthetic and is suitable for use as a confirmatory substrate with the at least one negative control plasma sample in (a) and in a coagulation assay involving the at least one procoagulant test reagent of (b), wherein the high phospholipid confirmatory substrate is at least 1 mg/ml phospholipid concentration and is used with at least two coagulation assays.
