Speaker(s):
Elisabeth Maurer, PhD Objectives:
1 Identify the reasons why current research platelet quality tests are not routinely used
2. Understand the difference between platelet quality and viability
3. Learn how ThromboLUX works (the principle of dynamic light scattering) and how it is used to non-invasively sample from platelet concentrates before transfusion
