Tests
A fibrin degradation product used mainly to help rule out venous thromboembolism when clinical probability is low.
For professionals
Indicators
A fibrin breakdown fragment — most useful for ruling out venous thromboembolism when clinical probability is low.
Glossary Term
A PCR format that partitions each sample into thousands of sub-reactions and calls each partition positive or negative, giving absolute quantification without a standard curve. Useful for low-level targets, copy-number work, and reference material characterization; throughput and per-test cost differ from qPCR.

Tests
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a test that measures the different types of hemoglobin in the blood. It also checks for hemoglobinopathy, disorders involving abnormal types of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. There are a few different types of normal and abnormal hemoglobin.

Tests
A chemiluminescence immunoassay capable of detecting very low levels of troponin T in serum.

Indicators
The second most abundant immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass in the circulation of healthy individuals. The IgG2 core hinge sequence contains 12 amino acids and up to four interchain disulfide bonds. This subtype has low affinity for binding both Fc receptors and complement component C1q. The production of this IgG2 is stimulated by exposure to bacterial capsular polysaccharides and other antigenic glycans.
