Dr. Hartert’s cup and pin mechanism. Schematic drawing representing parts of the thromboelastograph that were in direct contact with the blood sample. The rotating cup was approximately 8 x 12 mm and made from stainless steel, the surface of which prevented detachment of the blood clot during cup rotation. The blood sample was covered by a layer of paraffin oil to prevent evaporation of the sample. Reproduced with permission from [4].
