APACT 4004

Description:

Semi-automated 4-channel platelet aggregometer (LTA) according to Born method. Available as a compact stand-alone version or combined with the APACT LPC-Software this analyzer suits into all routine- and research laboratories.

The APACT 4004 is the ideal partner when monitoring of thrombocyte-induced haemostasis disorders (e.g. ADP accumulation defect, Bernard-Soulier Syndrome, von Willebrand-Jürgens Syndrome, Thrombasthenia) and the assessment of the risk of thromboembolism (determination of spontaneous aggregation) become important. Thrombocyte aggregation is an economical alternative to other thrombocyte function analyses, especially in large scale serial investigations.
