Synthetic Substrates in Clinical Blood Coagulation Assays

This book contains the proceedings of a symposium on the use of synthetic substrates in clinical blood coagulation assays, which was held at the University of Leuven, Belgium, on March 1st, 1980. This meeting was organized in order to exchange and discuss recent develop­ ments and applications in th...
