Stago is the world leader in haemostasis, and offers a range of platelet-related assays under the BioCytex brand. With almost 20 years of expertise in providing dedicated flow cytometry solutions for this highly specialised market, BioCytex is ideally positioned to provide innovative kits to aid clinical diagnosis of rare pathologies and research of platelet function.
The most widely recognised test in the BioCytex range is the platelet VASP/P2Y12 assay. This dual-colour flow cytometry test is designed to allow easy determination of platelet susceptibility to various P2Y12 inhibitors, such as thienopyridines. It is intended for use in diagnostic and research applications, leading to faster clinical decision-making. This is complemented by the platelet GP/receptor kit for precise quantitation of platelet glycoprotein abnormalities (GpIIb, GpIba and GMP140), allowing rapid diagnosis of constitutive thrombopathies.
