ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Novel assays and reagents for determining coagulative properties of blood or plasma are disclosed, as are agents and methods for stemming bleeding. Novel ellagic acid-based activators consist essentially of aqueous solutions of ellagic acid, phenol and suitable metal ions and give defined values for a novel platelet assay also disclosed. Inventive coagulation reagents including propyl gallate or tannin are also disclosed, as are aPTT reagents having sensitivity to heparin and Factor deficiencies far superior to prior aPTT reagents. Disclosed heparin-sensitive reagents include dextran sulfate. Also disclosed is applicant's discovery that reagents including hydroxy-substituted compounds and metal ions, heretofore known to activate Hagemann Factor, also cause platelets to release Platelet Factor 3, and a series of platelet-sensitive tests found to be enabled by this discovery. These platelet-sensitive tests include assays for platelet activity, systemic lupus, platelet reserve, which can signify type II lipoprotein defects, and for Platelet Factor 4. Disclosed methods and materials for stemming bleeding center around applicant's discovery that bleeding from bleeding sites can be stopped up to six time faster by applying to the site a hemostatic agent including effective amounts of hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound and metal ion.
