Lyophilized plasmas, at a defined Hirudin concentration, as measured with the DiaPharma Hirudin kit (catalog # DPGC002K), for the quality control of Hirudin clotting assays. Plasma Hirudin Controls are standardized by reference to hirudin concentration. The hirudin protein activity can present variations from lot to lot, according to its specific activity (usually in the range 14,000 to 16,000 ATU*/mg).
