Abstract
Platelet aggregation and its measurement using the turbidimetric method were discussed in the previous chapter. Many of the same considerations relating to aggregometry that were raised there are equally valid in the context of this chapter and it is recommended that readers acquaint themselves with Chapter 5, vol. 1 prior to commencing this one.
