HEPA-Remove® (5D-68179) is a synthetic peptide designed to inhibit heparin and heparinlike activity. Given its molecular properties, heparin or heparinlike molecules are known to interfere with many assays including coagulation assays and PCR-based assays. HEPA-Remove® is intended to be used to selectively complex heparins and thereby inhibit the heparin-associated assay interference. Manufactured by 5-Diagnostics.

Description

HEPA-Remove® is a synthetic peptide for the neutralisation/inhibition of heparins or heparin-similar compounds in plasma samples. HEPA-Remove® complexes Heparin specifically and eliminates its activity. Heparins and heparin-similar molecules interfere in several measurements of clinical samples, such as blood coagulation tests, PCR, etc. Hepa-Remove is an appropriate tool to eliminate these interferences.

HEPA-Remove® is also used in the measurement of aFXa activity of DOACs, if the patient’s anticoagulant treatment has to be changed and traces of Heparin may interfere. In this respect, HEPA-Remove® guarantees the measurement exclusively of aFXa activity caused by DOACs.

HEPA-Remove inhibits FXII activation in aPTT. If the full activation of FXII is required in the measurement, HEPA-Remove has to be added after the activation of FXII, e.g. with the start reagent CaCl₂.
