(Concluded)*Clotting Time of Recalcified Plasma — "ReCALCIFICATION Time" Principle If an optimal amount of calcium is added to oxalated plasma, containing an optimal number of platelets, coagulation results, and the time required for clotting has been termed the "recalcification time." Such a recalcification time depends on the concentrations of the various factors necessary for coagulation, including the blood platelet. In essence, it is a measurement of the coagulation time of plasma. Method A sample of 4.5 cc. of venous blood is mixed with 0.5 cc. of 0.1 molar solution of potassium oxalate. The blood is centrifuged§ at 1000 rpm . . .
