Product Description

The Ichor hematology instrument is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-use, bedside automated cell counter. When used with Plateletworks reagents, the Ichor system provides a hematology profile of a standard CBC with platelet count plus platelet aggregation within five minutes. The test is simple. A fresh whole blood sample is added to both an EDTA baseline and a Collagen or ADP agonist tube. All tubes are run on the Ichor hematology analyzer. CBC, including platelet count, is available within minutes. Platelet aggregation is then calculated from results.
