A method for quantitatively analyzing an anticoagulant in a sample may include: (a) providing and incubating a reaction mixture comprising (i) the sample, (ii) a defined amount of an activated coagulation factor whose activity is directly or indirectly influenceable by the anticoagulant to be determined, wherein the activated coagulation factor is present in a separate reagent which is added to the reaction mixture, (iii) a cleavable substrate which has at least one cleavage site for the activated coagulation factor, and (iv) a solid phase to which the cleavable substrate is bound or becomes bound during the incubation; (b) separating the solid phase; and (c) determining the amount of solid-phase-bound, uncleaved substrate, wherein the determined amount of the solid-phase-bound uncleaved substrate is proportional to an amount or activity of the anticoagulant in the sample.
