Amyloid Fibrin Test: How Fibrin Amyloid Microclots Are Detected
What an amyloid fibrin test is, how Thioflavin T microscopy spots fibrin amyloid microclots, how it differs from D-dimer, and what it can't tell you.
Amyloid Fibril Test: Methods Used to Detect Amyloid Fibrils
How an amyloid fibril test works: Thioflavin T, Congo red, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and seeding assays compared, with which are clinical.
