Abstract
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST SYSTEM The instrument aspirates a blood sample under constant vacuum from the sample reservoir through a capillary and a microscopic aperture (147 μm) cut into the membrane. The membrane is coated with CEPI or CADP. The presence of these platelet activators and the high shear rates (5000 to 6000 s–1) under the standardized flow conditions result in platelet attachment, activation, and aggregation, building a stable platelet...
