Abstract:
Observation of the behaviour of platelets in hypotonic media affords an approach to the evaluation of their fragility. It should be possible to apply such a test to various fields such as the study of rheological properties of platelets, the investigation of certain pathological cases and eventual alterations during storage. The curve obtained reflects a continuous distribution of platelet osmotic fragility.
