Abstract
An aggregometer which is economical and accurate is provided. The aggregometer includes a disposable test cell having two electrode tips. Adjacent parallel planar surfaces of the electrode tips define a channel which is substantially parallel to a flow direction of the sample prior to entering the channel. Also provided is a method for analyzing platelet aggregation by measuring electrical impedance in a sample using the aggregometer.
