Abstract
BARRATT1 found in 1932 that bacteria do not cause the decomposition of thrombin preparations, but rather that this is a chemical process I have shown that the inactivation of thrombin in native blood and in the pure thrombin solution is the same process as that which is caused by an inactivating system in plasma, but which in the preparation is present as an impurity.
