A modified sedimentation method for counting platelets in blood. 1978

R K Archer, and B V Allen, and C Baldwin

A sedimentation method for counting human blood platelets is proposed which uses a fluid of sp.gr. i.057 at an osmolarity of 320 milliosmols. The fluid is a mixture of Lymphoprep and Isoton II. After centrifugation at about 200 platelets are counted on an electronic particle counter.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.
