Notes

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.
