The authors describe an adaptation on a semi- automatique coagulometer KC 10 of a manual assay of anti-Xa activity of the Heparin-Antithrombin III Complex close to the technique described by Yin and al. ( Hepaclot - Stago ). The results show a good linearity and a good reproducibility, with a better sensitivity than the manuel method. Freezing has no influence. Significant differences were observed between our assay and the manuel anti-IIa assay. These last results neither depend on the administration route nor on the heparin batches.
