. A new chromogenic peptide substrate method, modified for assay with semi‐micro tubes, Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser and microplates, was used for screening of F VIII:C in blood donors. The precision of the assays is high and the costs are reasonable. The assay with microplates is especially suitable for selection of donors for a plasma programme and for quality control in blood banks.
