CLOT-ED

CLOT-ED, an educational resource for laboratory professionals with an interest in bleeding and/or thrombotic disorders, was established by Marlies Ledford-Kraemer (Florida, USA) in 2003. In 2010 this educational website became a part of the ECAT Foundation, an External quality Control organization for Assays and Tests in Thrombosis and Haemostasis.

Our name, CLOT-ED, is an acronym. CLOT means Coagulation, (fibrino)Lysis, Or Thrombosis. ED means Education. Our logo depicts coagulation as an amplification process (coagulation enzymes represented by gold ovals) that results in thrombin generation and fibrin formation (formed fibrin clot represented by magenta oval).

Enjoy your learning experience!
