INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assaySimplify your anticoagulant testing
The INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assay is an automated chromogenic assay for the quantitative determination of the activity of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as well as apixaban concentrations in citrated human plasma. The INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assay combines a truly ready-to-use liquid reagent for heparin and direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) testing, allowing 24/7 access to rapid, specific testing for anticoagulants. Unlike most commercially-available solutions, this assay requires no manual preparation or waiting time. INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assay has now been extended to test for apixaban.

Benefits
- Liquid reagents require no manual preparation or reconstitution, allowing staff to concentrate on high-value tasks.
- Combined testing solution reduces handling, material, and ordering complexity for the lab.
- Single calibration curve for both types of heparin (UFH and LMWH) streamlines result interpretation and eliminates the risk of evaluation on the wrong curve.
- 24/7 access to rapid, specific testing for anticoagulants supports timely patient treatment.
- Robust assay design reduces susceptibility to interferences.
- Drug-specific standards sets for the DOACs apixaban allow for accurate measurement of drug concentrations in ng/mL.
- Broad and consistent assay range of 0.10 to 1.50 IU/mL for UF and LMW heparin, extendable up to 2.25 IU/mL by sample dilution.
- High lot-to-lot consistency that helps ensure consistent patient results over time.
Technical Details
The INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assay offers robust performance across all parameters. With its compact and ready-to-use configuration, the INNOVANCE Anti-Xa assay supports improved laboratory outcomes. It builds on the proven performance of the INNOVANCE Heparin assay and leverages the same proven components, but now also includes DOAC testing capabilities.
