Platelet meeting Feb 24. Sample preparation. Platelets suspension from citrated blood Centrifuged 2x at 800g/1.5 min to collect PRP PRP is centrifuged at 680g for 15 min, supernatant removed and resuspended in citrated Tyrode’s x 2 Last resuspension in Tyrode’s with Apyrase

Sample preparation • Platelets suspension from citrated blood • Centrifuged 2x at 800g/1.5 min to collect PRP • PRP is centrifuged at 680g for 15 min, supernatant removed and resuspended in citrated Tyrode’s x 2 • Last resuspension in Tyrode’s with Apyrase • Two microcentrifuge tubes are prepared • Platelet suspension + ACD • Platelets suspension + 12 uM TRAP • After a couple of minutes ACD is added as well to balance the conductivity of the samples
Measurement setup • All syringes, tubings, fixture and chip is treated with 5% BSA in PBS for at least 1h • Two plastic syringes are connected to a 3-way valve that connects to the fixture/chip • One syringe per sample • Oil as sheath flow • Resulting in pulsations which change the core width and thus widens the amplitude distribution
Detection software • Now only detects peaks in the lowest frequency • Uses the detected peak coordinates to extract data from other frequencies • Phase, opacity and magnitude is calculated from the X and Y data
Peak widening due to pulsations Two kinds of particles in PBS with oil or water as sheath
