The PlateletMapping ADP & AA cartridge is used by clinicians to evaluate a patient’s bleeding and thrombotic risk, which can happen as a consequence of inhibition of platelet function. The assay provides four channels of dried-in-place reagents including HKH (Kaolin with Heparinase), ActF (Activator F), ADP (adenosine-5'-diphosphate) and AA (Arachidonic Acid), enabling clinicians to assess a patient's coagulation ability.

The PlateletMapping ADP & AA cartridge provides clinicians swift and accurate results that are required to study a patient's platelet function. With this information, doctors can easily determine the necessary diagnosis and treatment.
