Coagulation monitoring relies on in vitro tests where the clot formation is induced using external stimuli. We report an optical method capable of revealing the propensity of coagulation based solely on the natural dynamics of erythrocytes in whole blood. In contrast to traditional techniques, our approach provides means to assess the blood coagulability without the need to chemically trigger the coagulation. Results of correlations with standard clinical methods suggest that this optical assay could be used for continuous management of blood coagulation during clinical procedures.

Abstract We have developed an assay system for measuring lactate in whole blood, consisting of a single-use strip of an enzyme-coated electrode and a small meter. The electrode strip is made of three plastic films: a cover sheet, a spacer, and an insulation layer printed with electrodes that are coated with lactate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.x) and ferricyanide as an electron mediator. The meter measures the magnitude of the anodic current of the reduced mediator by the enzymatic reaction and displays the lactate concentration 60 s after a blood sample (5 microL) is applied. The calibration curve was linear up to 20 mmol/L, and the between-run CVs at three concentrations were 1.7-8.4%. Lactate concentrations determined by this method (y) in blood samples from healthy individuals before and after exercise agreed with the results obtained by the conventional enzymatic method (x): y = 0.97x - 0.3, Sy/x = 0.7. This assay provides a rapid and convenient test for measuring blood lactate concentrations.

Platelet adhesion initiates platelet aggregation and is an important component of the hemostatic process. Since the development of a new form of collagen as a topical hemostatic agent is of both basic and clinical interest, an ultrastructural and hematologic study of the interaction of platelets with the microcrystalline collagen preparation was undertaken.In this study, whole blood anticoagulated with EDTA was used in order to inhibit aggregation and permit study of platelet adhesion to collagen as an isolated event. The microcrystalline collagen was prepared from bovine dermal corium; milling was with sharp blades. The preparation consists of partial hydrochloric acid amine collagen salts and retains much of the fibrillar morphology of native collagen.

Thrombocytes (TC), the avian equivalent of blood platelets, support hemostasis by aggregating at sites of injury. Studies in our lab suggested that fibrinogen (fib) is a requisite cofactor for TC aggregation but operates by an undefined mechanism. To study the interaction of fib with TC and to identify fib receptors on cells, fib was purified from pigeon plasma, conjugated to colloidal gold and used both to facilitate aggregation and as a receptor probe. Described is the application of computer assisted reconstruction and stereo whole mount microscopy to visualize the 3-D organization of fib receptors at sites of cell contact in TC aggregates and on adherent cells.Pigeon TC were obtained from citrated whole blood by differential centrifugation, washed with Ca++ free Hank's balanced salts containing 0.3% EDTA (pH 6.5) and resuspended in Ca++ free Hank's. Pigeon fib was isolated by precipitation with PEG-1000 and the purity assessed by SDS-PAGE. Fib was conjugated to 25nm colloidal gold by vortexing and the conjugates used as the ligand to identify fib receptors.
