Miniaturised Platelet Aggregation Assays using the NOVOstar Microplate Reader

Platelet aggregation is a “gold standard” assay of platelet function in the research and clinical laboratory settings which is conventionally measured with aggregometers requiring large volumes of platelet suspensions and only in low throughput format. With the NOVOstar microplate reader from BMG LABTECH an alternative optical method to measure platelet aggregation using small volumes in 96-well format is presented.
