Microtitre plate measurement of platelet response to hypotonic stress.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conventional method of assessing the platelet response to hypotonic stress (HSR) was adapted to allow microtitre plate technology to be used. After water is added to a platelet suspension two sequential readings are taken at 414 nM on a vertical microplate reader. The difference between the second (three minutes) and the first (one minute) was defined as the HSR. This method allowed the relation between platelet concentrate pH and viability to be confirmed, and an HSR value for use in quality control was established. The method correlated well with the conventional technique and permitted measurement of undiluted samples as well as of products with a high free haemoglobin concentration.

The response of human platelets to hypotonic stress: direct measurement of volume change.
Human platelets stored at 22 degrees C were subjected to standard hypotonic stress at intervals up to five days after collection. Changes in light absorbance were recorded during the reaction, and size distribution was measured directly using a Coulter Model ZBI Counter and Channelyzer. Recovery following osmotic stress was measured by change in absorbance, as well as by change in platelet size...
متن کاملMethods for evaluation of platelet function.
There are a multitude of platelet function tests available, reflecting the complex nature of the platelet in haemostasis. No simple single test will ever cover all aspects of platelet function. Some tests focus on the aggregation of platelets, for example aggregometry, other on the swelling in response to hypotonic solutions, i.e. the well-known hypotonic shock response, or adhesion or coagulat...
متن کاملAn Overview on Platelet-derived Microparticles in Platelet Concentrates: blood collection, method preparation and storage
Preparations of platelet concentrates (PCs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (PMPs) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. High shear stress could cause shedding of PMPs from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...
متن کاملMicrotitre plate-based antibacterial assay incorporating resazurin as an indicator of cell growth, and its application in the in vitro antibacterial screening of phytochemicals
The resazurin assay utilising microtitre-plate, described by Drummond and Waigh in 2000, has been modified to achieve more accuracy in the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of natural products, including crude extracts, chromatographic fractions or purified compounds against various bacterial strains. This modified resazurin method is simple, sensitive, rapid, r...
متن کاملAdaptation of the troponin T ELISA test to a microplate immunoassay reader.
Troponin T concentration in serum is usually measured by the automated method developed by Boehringer Mannheim for the ES-series of analysers. These instruments need at least 140 microliters of serum and 700 microliters of reagents for a single analysis, which takes 90 min. We describe an alternative procedure, using streptavidin-coated microtitre plates, troponin T reagents of Boehringer Mannh...
