The present invention is directed to a novel method of determining inhibitors of proteolytically active coagulation factors, referred to herein as anticoagulants, in a sample, in particular the qualitative detection of direct thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors in a sample. The method of the present invention allows a qualitative determination of the nature anticoagulants present in a sample. This can be achieved with only one coagulation-based test. The method can be used in a test kit, including a point-of-care (POC) system.
