STAGO STart^® Semi-Automated Coagulation Analyzer

At Devi Clinical Laboratory, we are committed to delivering accurate and reliable diagnostic services using cutting-edge technology. As part of our advanced hematology and coagulation testing capabilities, we utilize the STAGO STart^® Semi-Automated Coagulation Analyzer, a trusted system designed for high-precision clotting assessments. This analyzer enhances our ability to provide timely and precise results, ensuring the best possible patient care.

Advanced Coagulation Testing with STAGO STart^®

Coagulation tests play a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring bleeding disorders, thrombotic conditions, and other hematological abnormalities. The STAGO STart^® Analyzer is a state-of-the-art instrument that employs a mechanical detection system, eliminating optical interferences often seen in plasma-based testing. This ensures unparalleled accuracy, even in complex cases where traditional methods may struggle to deliver consistent results.

At Devi Clinical Laboratory, we use this analyzer for a wide range of tests, including:

• Prothrombin Time (PT) – Evaluates blood clotting efficiency and aids in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.
• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) – Assesses the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways, often used for conditions like hemophilia.
• Fibrinogen Testing – Determines fibrinogen levels, critical in detecting clotting disorders and liver disease.
• Thrombin Time (TT) – Helps evaluate the final step of clot formation and can indicate abnormalities in fibrinogen function.
• D-Dimer Analysis – Used in detecting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

With these tests, our laboratory ensures comprehensive screening and monitoring for patients with bleeding disorders, thrombophilia, liver diseases, and other coagulation abnormalities.

Why We Use the STAGO STart^® Analyzer?

The STAGO STart^® Analyzer is known for its viscosity-based detection system (VDS), which sets it apart from conventional coagulation analyzers. This mechanical method ensures:

• Interference-Free Results – No impact from lipemia, hemolysis, or icterus, which can compromise optical-based testing.
• High Reproducibility – Delivers consistent and reliable results for critical coagulation assays.
• User-Friendly Operation – With an intuitive interface, it ensures efficient workflow and quick turnaround times.
• Comprehensive Test Menu – Covers a wide range of routine and specialized coagulation assays.

Enhancing Patient Care Through Precision Diagnostics

At Devi Clinical Laboratory, we prioritize diagnostic accuracy because we understand its critical role in clinical decision-making and patient management. The integration of the STAGO STart^® Analyzer in our lab enables us to:

• Provide rapid and reliable test results for timely diagnosis.
• Support physicians in managing anticoagulant therapy for patients on warfarin or heparin.
• Detect coagulation disorders early, ensuring prompt medical intervention.
• Offer specialized testing for high-risk patients, including those with cardiovascular conditions.
