Not all light transmission aggregation assays are created equal: qualitative differences between light transmission and 96-well plate aggregometry [PDF]
Platelets, 2018 In this short article, submitted as part of the review on platelet function testing, we illustrate the quantitative and qualitative differences between classical light transmission aggregometry (LTA) and 96-well plate aggregometry. We show that responses

European Journal of Medical Research, 2010 Objectives Use of potent antiplatelet drugs requires evaluation of platelet function. While platelet function in elective cases is usually assessed in a central laboratory environment, there is also an urgent need for rapid perioperative point-of-care ...

The role of whole blood impedance aggregometry and its utilisation in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis in acute critical illness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic and diagnostic value of whole blood impedance aggregometry in patients with sepsis and SIRS and to compare with whole blood parameters (platelet count, haemoglobin, haematocrit and white cell count).

Comparison of Aggregometry with Flow Cytometry for the Assessment of Agonists´-Induced Platelet Reactivity in Patients on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Data on the agreement between aggregometry and platelet activation by flow cytometry regarding the measurement of on-treatment platelet reactivity to arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) are scarce.

Platelet dysfunction and inhibition of multiple electrode platelet aggregometry caused by penicillin
Thrombosis Journal, 2010 Beta-lactam antibiotics, e.g. penicillin, may inhibit platelet function and lead to reduced response in light transmission aggregometry and adhesion. However, influence on platelet function tests more commonly used in clinical practice, such as multiple ...

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2013 The in vitro evaluation of platelet aggregation is useful to diagnose platelet function disorders [1, 2]; in some laboratories, the test is also used to monitor antiplatelet treatment [3]. Traditionally, platelet aggregation is measured by light transmission aggregometry (LTA), which measures the changes in transmission of a beam of light through a ...

Evaluation of an automated light transmission aggregometry [PDF]
Platelets, 2017 Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is the “gold standard” for platelet function assessment, but it is time-consuming and labor intensive. Recently, an automated platelet aggregation method has been developed on a routine coagulation analyzer (Sysmex ...

Aggregometry in the settings of thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis and antiplatelet therapy
Platelets, 2018 A variety of laboratory tests have been developed, which can diagnose a number of both congenital and acquired disorders of platelet function. Many tests of platelet function measure the ability of platelets to adhere to each other, forming platelet aggregates, which represent the major constituents of hemostatic plugs and of arterial thrombi.
