Abstract
A method of analyzing thrombotic activity of blood samples that includes providing a capillary tube between a vessel containing a sample of blood and a collection reservoir, applying pressure to the blood to draw it from the vessel through the capillary tube and into the reservoir for a predetermined period of time, and measuring the blood collected in the reservoir within the predetermined time period as an indication of the platelet activity of the blood sample. By following these simple steps it is possible to produce measurements which are meaningful and physiologically relevant.
