The single-channel platelet aggregation analyzer AT-02 (Russia) is designed to study the process of platelet aggregation in blood plasma using the Born method, based on continuous measurement of the light transmittance coefficient in platelet plasma under conditions of stirring and thermostatting after the addition of an aggregation inducer (ADP, adrenaline, collagen, ristomycin, arachidonic acid, thrombin, etc.).
Application area:
in clinical diagnostic laboratories of multidisciplinary hospitals
in hematological, cardiological and cardiac surgery clinics
in laboratories of blood transfusion stations
in hemophilia treatment centers
in laboratories of research institutes in the field of biology, biochemistry, physiology and medicine
Using the aggregometer allows for differential diagnostics of disorders in the platelet link of hemostasis: hereditary and acquired thrombocytopathies.
Advantages of the AT-02 platelet aggregation analyzer:
High measurement accuracy – sensitive sensors detect minimal changes in light transmission.
Work with low platelet counts – testing is possible even at concentrations as low as 30,000 platelets per mm³.
Computer integration – convenient data processing and aggregation curve plotting.
Differential diagnosis of thrombocytopathy – detection of platelet hemostasis disorders.
Low sample volume – economical consumption of reagents and biomaterial.
Tests performed:
quantitative determination of von Willebrand ristomycin cofactor
adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
ristocetin
collagen
archidonic acid
HIT (Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia)
Operating principle:
Adding an aggregation inductor initiates the aggregation process. Continuous measurement of light transmittance analyzes changes in plasma transparency. Recording the results: plotting an aggregation curve and calculating parameters.
