Abstract
A new method is described for rapid determination of plasmin in serum. This method entails the production of clumps of latex particles held together by fine strands of artificially polymerized fibrin followed by the estimation of plasma turbidity as these particles are released from the aggregates by plasmin activity. The advantages and possible objections to this method are discussed.Keywords
