Abstract
We present a non-contact platelet functional analysis platform based on acoustic trapping of platelet clusters and activation monitoring using impedance spectroscopy. The system was characterized using polystyrene particles and human platelets. The system was also capable of transferring platelets from plasma into a controlled buffer. Trapped platelets were activated using 20 and 40 μM TRAP and their responses were recorded with impedance spectroscopy. The system shows great promise as a miniaturized, automatable platform for platelet analysis.
