TY - JOUR AB - Contents Cover: Thromboelastography (TEG) measures the clot time and tensile strength of blood samples. TEG cups and pins were modified with 4 distinct PECVD coatings to analyze mechanisms of blood plasma coagulation through the contact pathway. Only carboxylated anionic surfaces produced a faster and highly controlled clot kinetics compared to the bare commercial Cyrolite methacrylate polymer. Further details can be found in the article by Caroline Hoemann et. al. on page 817.
