time in minutes?
4 mins
Which test assesses in vivo platelet function?
PFA-100
TEG
Bleeding time
PT
bleeding time
Name the test:
test cartridges contain reagent to stimulate aggregation and citrated whole blood is
aspirated into the analyzer under flow conditions
PFA-100
In PFA-100, what must the platelet count be over?

,PFA-100 measures the time required for the platelet plug to occlude the aperture. This is
called:
