System and Method for the determination of a coagulation parameter of a blood or plasma sample of a patient, including a reagent system (5) to be mixed with the sample, thereby forming a coagulation detection liquid, a space (4) for receiving the coagulation detection liquid, and an instrument (1) adapted for monitoring coagulation of the coagulation detection liquid, and measuring a coagulation time. <??>The coagulation time is determined at a non-standard temperature of the coagulation detection liquid different from a standard temperature for the respective coagulation parameter, said non-standard temperature being measured, and the coagulation parameter for the standard temperature is calculated from the coagulation time measured at said non-standard temperature, using a mathematical relationship of coagulation time versus temperature which relationship is independent of the individual patient whose blood is examined. <IMAGE>
