A.Reduction of the CLT ( vs. ) was observed due to a significant reduction of the generatedCPU during the coagulation phase in the presence of hemolysate ( vs. ). B. No significantinfluence of hemolysis was observed on the CLT+TM in the presence of thrombomodulin (0.5nM). Although, a 35.7% reduction of the generated CPU-peak was observed.
