FAQ
What are advantages of the PGE by Flow Cytometry, Whole Blood 2013070 test?
- Functional platelet aggregation studies are specimen time sensitive, although this test is not a functional assay, specimen stability is longer at 72 hours.
- Platelet Surface Glycoprotein Expression (PGE) by Flow Cytometry, Whole Blood 2013070 is sensitive for patients with thrombocytopenia, and requires small sample volume.
- Collect: Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2 EDTA), or yellow (ACD Solution B)
- Specimen Preparation: Transport 4 mL whole blood. (Min: 0.1 mL)
- Use to diagnose Bernard-Soulier syndrome or Glanzmann thrombasthenia in patients with a lifelong history of platelet-type bleeding.
