[Determination of the activity of Willebrand's factor by laser analyzer of platelet aggregation]

A modification of von Willebrand' factor/ristocetin cofactor activity test is proposed. Agglutination of formalin-treated platelets is monitored in the aggregation analyzer from changes in the light transmission in the specimen. The test is sensitive and reproducible. It is intended for clinical laboratories to be used in patients with hematological diseases and the endotheliopathy syndrome of different etiology.
