Citra Anticoagulants, Inc. announces its parent company, Cytosol Laboratories, Inc., has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for NO CLOT-50™ Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution, Solution A, U.S.P., commonly known as ACD-A, for use in the extracorporeal blood processing with Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Systems in the production of platelet rich plasma. NO CLOT-50™ is the anticoagulant of choice to prevent clotting of the whole blood during the extracorporeal blood processing with Autologous PRP Systems.
NO CLOT-50™ is a United States Pharmacopeia formulated product containing 50 milliliters of ACD-A. NO CLOT-50™ prevents the coagulation of blood by virtue of its citrate ion’s ability to chelate the ionized calcium present in blood to form a non-ionized calcium-citrate complex. When the total dose of citrate ions is greater than the total amount of ionized calcium, blood clotting is prevented.
NO CLOT-50™ is marketed and distributed exclusively by Citra Anticoagulants, Inc.
