| Description | H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride (S-2238 dihydrochloride), a chromogenic substrate, mimics the N-terminal fragment of the A alpha chain of fibrinogen, the native substrate of thrombin. Specifically designed for thrombin detection, H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride is employed for the quantification of antithrombin-heparin cofactor (AT-III). The AT-III assay utilizing this substrate is characterized by its sensitivity, accuracy, and ease of implementation. |
