Detect coagulase enzyme in staphylococci with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Coagulase Plasma. The enzyme coagulase acts on a constituent of rabbit plasma to produce a thrombin-like substance which activates fibrinogen to form fibrin clot. In 1940, Fairbrother and Chapman et al. reported pathogenic staphylococci can be identified based on the ability to coagulate plasma.1,2 Chapman found rabbit plasma to be superior to other types of plasma in terms of clotting activity.3 Bayliss and Hall recommended replacing the citrate anticoagulant with EDTA to avoid false-positive clots.4
