78687-1
LaboratoryPlatelet aggregation [Units/volume] in Blood by thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 induced
Definition
Assay for the quantitative in vitro determination of platelet function triggered by thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 (TRAP-6), a potent platelet activator that stimulates platelet aggregation via the thrombin receptor PAR-1. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Cobas TRAPtest, a platelet function assay performed on whole blood samples by impedance aggregometry method.
