A blood coagulation test system for in vitro assessment of blood characteristics including hemostasis, thrombus formation, thrombolysis, and collagen platelet interaction includes a syringe/test cartridge for collection, testing and disposal of the sample together with a test analyser for executing the test protocol. Coagulation functions are evaluated by establishing controlled bleeding of the sample from a capillary tube within the cartridge and monitoring these blood characteristics as a function of blood pressure variations occurring in the cartridge as the test proceeds. The blood sample remains within the cartridge for testing and after disposal.
