Human Platelet Isolation Kit

Product details

This Human Platelet Isolation Kit (ab289839, K2071) allows the in vitro isolation of intact, viable, unactivated platelets. The kit enables the high recovery of platelets of (1 x10⁷ platelets/ml) yielding approximately 80% of the total platelets present in 1 ml of whole blood. The viability stain included in the kit is used to identify living platelets indicating that >90% of the platelets in the isolated fraction is viable. The isolated fraction contains >95% platelets and has minimal contamination of red blood cells and leukocytes.

Detection Method: Density gradient based platelet isolation

Sample Types: Fresh whole blood collected < 8 hrs prior to platelet isolation, with EDTA or citrate anti-coagulants.

Applications:

• Isolation of platelets from whole blood.
• Determination of platelet viability, purity, and quality.
• Studying platelet activation and characterization of platelet morphology.
• In vitro assays to evaluate primary platelet functions such as clotting, chemokine release, adhesion, chemotaxis etc.
• Studying platelet surface proteins.
