Protocol Name: NCL Method ITA-2.1: Analysis of Platelet Aggregation by Cell Counting

Protocol Abbreviation: ITA-2.1

Protocol Version: 4

Protocol File: 20240410_19-00-09-352_NCL_Method_ITA-2.1.pdf

File Title: ITA-2.1

Description: This document describes a procedure for analysis of platelet aggregation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from fresh human whole blood and incubated with either a control or test sample. Following incubation, PRP is analyzed using the Z2 particle count and size analyzer to determine the number of active platelets. Percent aggregation is calculated by comparing the number of single (unaggregated) platelets in the test sample to the number of single (unaggregated) platelets in the control baseline sample.
