Heparin Management with Actalyke and the Activated Clotting Time Test
Accurate Activated Clotting Time (ACT) testing is essential for monitoring heparin therapy during cardiac procedures. Actalyke instruments and reagent tubes provide the sensitivity, reliability and rapidity needed for timely treatment decisions at the point of care.

All Actalyke instruments use a two-point clot detection mechanism, enabling clot detection at the early fibrin formation stage with less variation due to clot fragility. This provides greater precision, especially on highly heparinized and diluted samples. Actalyke XL (dual well) and Actalyke Mini II are fully compatible with all ACT tubes. Helena offers a full line of ACT tubes, including traditional glass bead, kaolin, celite® plus the ingenious MAX-ACT.

Your Guide to Occult Blood Testing with ColoCARE
"When an occult blood test is positive, it usually means bleeding from hemorhoids or from some type of inflammation of the intestines. However, the test may indicate the first sign of bleeding from a polyp or a cancer. That's why we need an effective and inexpensive screening test that people are willing to use every year after age 40. ColoCARE is that test." William G. Friend, M.D. - Colon and Rectal Clinic - Seattle, Washington. This brochure is available by contacting Helena's Literature Services at 800-231-5663.
