ORIGINAL METHOD TO ASSESS PLATELET AGGREGATION BASED ON THE MEASUREMENT OF AGGREGATE MEAN RADIUS*
ROUTINE OPTICAL METHOD TO ASSESS PLATELET AGGREGATION BASED ON BORN'S METHOD OF OPTICAL DENSITY MEASUREMENT
ORIGINAL METHOD TO MEASURE PLATELET CONCENTRATION
BASIC FEATURES:
A new highly sensitive method to study platelet aggregation based on the measurement
of mean radius makes it possible to record kinetics of formation of microaggregates in real time
Sensitivity in measurements of spontaneous aggregation is higher than in routine Breddin apparatus
Each of two independent channels simultaneously measures optical density and aggregate mean radius
The results of measurements can be monitored on the built-in display screen or in PC
Application fields:
Diagnostics of thrombocyte stage of homeostasis
Diagnostics of congenital and acquired homeostatic disturbances
Assessment of therapeutic efficiency
Screening of novel medical preparations
Assessment of platelet vitality during blood transfusion
Toxicology
