Standardised optical multichannel (optimul) platelet aggregometry using high-speed shaking and fixed time point readings.

The article discusses the use of high-speed shaking and fixed time point readings in standardised optical multichannel (optimul) platelet aggregometry. The authors provide an overview on how the optimul plates used for the of Tecan Sunrise kinetic plate reader can also be utilized with a high-speed thermoshaker. They also tackle the preparation of the optimul plates to determine the outcome which include the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the appropriate wells of the plate.
