Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 230-1021-020 provides BBL® Fibrometer Protime Cups in HDPE (Natural), 2000/Bag. These cups are designed for use in the BBL Fibrometer coagulation analyzer for prothrombin time (PT), INR, and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) testing. The Fibrometer instrument uses disposable cups to hold the patient plasma and thromboplastin reagent during the coagulation endpoint detection. HDPE construction provides low protein binding and broad chemical resistance to coagulation reagents (thromboplastin, citrated plasma, calcium chloride).
HDPE: low extractables, low protein binding surface for coagulation test samples, chemical resistance to standard clotting reagents. Non-Sterile. BPA-free, FDA-compliant,
Procurement economics: $81.34/Bag (2000 cups), $0.0407/cup. Companion: 230-1022-02K (BBL® Fibrometer Pipet Tips LDPE 1000/Bag). LabSupplies.com ships from USA inventory, typically same business day.

BBL® Fibrometer Protime Cup Applications
The is used in the BBL Fibrometer coagulation analyzer for the following tests.
| Application | Setting / Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prothrombin Time (PT) | BBL Fibrometer, PT channel | Cup holds plasma + thromboplastin reagent |
| INR calculation | Derived from PT result in Fibrometer | PT seconds converted to INR using ISI |
| Partial Thromboplastin Time | BBL Fibrometer, PTT channel | Cup holds plasma + APTT reagent + CaCl2 |
| PT/INR anticoagulant monitoring | Warfarin dose monitoring, clinical lab | HDPE: low protein binding for accurate PT endpoint detection |
| Coagulation factor assay | Diluted patient plasma, thromboplastin | Cup accommodates small volume patient dilution series |
| Thrombin time | Thrombin reagent + plasma in Fibrometer cup | HDPE chemical resistance to thrombin reagent |
| Fibrinogen assay | Clauss fibrinogen, modified PT method | Fibrometer endpoint detection in HDPE cup |

Compatibility reference at typical laboratory conditions.
| Reagent / Condition | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Citrated plasma | Excellent | HDPE: low protein binding, compatible with clinical plasma. |
| Thromboplastin reagent | Excellent | HDPE: compatible with standard PT reagents. |
| Calcium chloride (0.025 M) | Excellent | HDPE: inert to calcium chloride recalcification reagent. |
| APTT reagent | Excellent | HDPE: compatible with standard APTT activation reagents. |
| Thrombin reagent | Excellent | HDPE: compatible with bovine or human thrombin solutions. |
| Sodium citrate | Excellent | HDPE: compatible with standard anticoagulant. |

Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen BBL® Fibrometer Protime Cups serve clinical coagulation laboratories and hospital hemostasis units using the BBL Fibrometer analyzer for prothrombin time (PT/INR) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) testing. The BBL Fibrometer is an electromechanical coagulation endpoint detection instrument that measures fibrin clot formation as an impedance change in the disposable reaction cup. The Protime Cup holds the citrated patient plasma and thromboplastin reagent during the PT reaction, and the cup's HDPE material provides the low-protein-binding, reagent-compatible surface needed for accurate coagulation endpoint detection. High-volume coagulation labs running daily PT/INR panels for anticoagulant monitoring (warfarin, heparin) use Protime Cups at rates of hundreds to thousands per day — the 2000/Bag format provides economical bulk supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Fibrometer Protime Cups sterile?
No. Non-Sterile — the BBL Fibrometer test does not require sterile cups.
Are these cups compatible with the original BBL® Fibrometer instrument?
The Caplugs® Evergreen Protime Cups are manufactured as compatible replacements for the BBL Fibrometer instrument. Verify dimensional compatibility with your specific Fibrometer model before substituting from OEM supply — the cup dimensions must match your instrument's cup well dimensions for proper seating and endpoint detection.
What volume of plasma and reagent does each Protime Cup hold?
The BBL Fibrometer Protime Cup is designed for the reagent volumes specified by the PT reagent manufacturer and the Fibrometer operating procedure — typically 0.1–0.2 mL plasma + 0.1–0.2 mL thromboplastin. Refer to your BBL Fibrometer instrument manual and reagent IFU for the exact volumes for your test configuration.
