Plateletworks®
LabPac Features
& Benefits Summary
| •
|
Standard agonists - uses
ADP and Collagen which are routinely used for laboratory
platelet aggregation. Can monitor both metabolic activation
(ADP) and glycoprotein activation (Collagen). |
| • |
Monitor all anti-platelet
therapeutics - can be used pre, peri and post-procedually.
|
| • |
Simple, rapid procedure
- platelet count and platelet aggregation results available
in under 5 minutes |
| • |
No sample preparation
- performed on whole blood using pre-loaded baseline and
platelet agonist tubes |
| • |
Automatic, closed-tube
sampling - optimizes safety and ease of use for any operator
|
Why Screen for Platelet Function?
• Pre-surgical screening
• Therapeutic monitoring of clopidogrel,
aspirin, IIb/IIIa inhibitors and other anti-platelet drugs
• Dietary platelet inhibition (garlic, ginger,
Vitamin E, dark chocolate, beer)
