Integrated Platelet Aggregation Testing

Integrated Platelet Aggregation TestingRethinking platelet aggregation: integrated, standardized, available.

Labs of all sizes need an alternative to traditional platelet aggregation testing that is less complex, easier to integrate into the daily workflow, and less dependent on specially trained lab technicians while also producing more-consistent results.

Integrated onto routine coagulation analyzers—the CN-3000 and CN-6000 Systems,1 CS-2500, and CS-5100 Systems, —platelet aggregation1 becomes more manageable, reliable, and accessible with easy-to-use, standardized testing.

Features & Benefits

  • The systems enable access to platelet aggregation testing to provide additional information for therapeutic decisions and complete the diagnostic picture.
  • The systems can process low sample volumes and produce standardized results for geriatric and pediatric samples that enable immediate diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.
Fast turnaround time
  • After initial sample preparation (preparing PRP and PPP plasma) and loading, systems can perform platelet aggregation testing automatically for five agonists without additional pipetting steps or other dedicated hands-on time.
  • Test scheduling is simplified, because platelet aggregation testing can be performed by any lab technician at any time on a routine coagulation analyzer.

  • Integrated platelet aggregation testing1 eliminates a dedicated instrument for platelet aggregation testing and reduces the number of consumables to manage and store.
