Title: Removal of heparin from heparin-containing blood plasma samples using a triethylaminoethyl cellulose tablet

Abstract: A tableted form of fibrous triethylaminoethyl cellulose suitable for the removal of heparin from heparin-containing blood plasma. The tablet is composed of granular microcrystalline cellulose and fibrous triethylaminoethyl cellulose in a ratio of from about 5.4:1 to about 10:1. The triethylaminoethyl cellulose tablet, which is formulated to provide from about 5 to about 26 mg. of triethylaminoethyl cellulose per milliliter of plasma sample, is added to a heparin-containing blood plasma sample, the sample is agitated or allowed to stand for a time sufficient to permit adsorption of substantially all heparin present. The sample is then centrifuged and the remaining heparin-free plasma can be subjected to coagulation testing in order to determine the true clotting time.
