Each TAS PT-One test cartridge contains lyophilized thromboplastin from human placenta, calcium chloride, and buffers coated with paramagnetic iron oxide particles (PIOP). The citrated blood is added to the single-use test cartridge positioned within the TAS analyzer. A pulsating magnetic field is then initiated, causing the PIOP to move up and down. As the sample clots, the decrease in PIOP
