- Our team can advise on every aspect of platelet function and help you determine if your candidate compound has an effect on platelet function. Whether you are interested in investigating the activity and potency of anti-platelet drugs or want to rule out the possible side-effects of lead compounds targeting platelet-unrelated conditions, get in touch with us.
- We will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and provide you with a customised solution.
- We will provide you with a clear, complete data set along with a comprehensive report to answer your research questions.
- We will answer your research questions and facilitate the continuous development of your compound.
We offer all conventional assays for testing platelet function:
Platelet aggregation in plasma
In platelet rich plasma (PRP) measured by light transmission (LTA)
Platelet aggregation in whole blood
In whole blood measured by single platelet counting (flow cytometry)
Platelet activation markers
In whole blood or PRP, stimulated and fixed samples (flow cytometry)
Intracellular signalling markers
VASP phosphorylation in whole blood or PRP (surrogate measure for cAMP levels; flow cytometry)
If you need other assays we can design on demand – please get in touch and discuss your requirements
