LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T2 Biosystems, a company developing direct detection products enabling superior diagnostics, announced that scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and T2 Biosystems have published a paper in Blood describing novel clot structure biology detected while testing T2 Bio’s T2HemoStat™. T2HemoStat is an innovative diagnostic tool for assessing blood clotting, platelet function, fibrinolytic activity and hematocrit measurements from a fingerstick blood sample in about 15 minutes. T2HemoStat uniquely detects millions of data points during a blood coagulation cascade. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, utilizing T2HemoStat, detected a signature of a novel clot structure, never before described in scientific literature. This clot structure involves a conformational change in red blood cell structure, termed polyhedrocytes. The presence of these structures could make stroke and heart attack victims less responsive to medications.
