Description
The Chrono‑Log Model 700 is a versatile, multi‑channel platelet function analyzer that combines electrical impedance and optical (turbidometric) detection in one system. Designed for both whole blood and platelet‑rich plasma, it measures platelet aggregation and ATP secretion simultaneously, enabling comprehensive assessment of platelet function.
Key Features:
Dual‑ and Four‑Channel Configuration: Run up to four samples in parallel for higher throughput.
Two Detection Modes:
Impedance (Whole Blood): Measures aggregation directly in whole blood samples.
Optical (Plasma): Tracks changes in turbidity for platelet‑rich plasma assays.
Luminescence Capability: Simultaneously monitor ATP release for secretion studies.
Disposable & Reusable Electrodes: Flexible setup with easy‑to‑change electrodes.
Push‑Button Controls & LCD Display: Simple operation with channel‑specific error monitoring.
Built‑In Computer Interface: Includes AGGRO/LINK8 software for data capture and analysis.
Applications:
Diagnosis of inherited or acquired platelet disorders
Monitoring antiplatelet therapies (e.g., aspirin, ADP inhibitors)
Ristocetin cofactor and von Willebrand disease testing
Research studies on platelet function and drug effects
