Abstract: Objective

To investigate the performance of PL-11 platelet analyzer in the detection of platelet count and platelet aggregation.

Methods

According to the instrument performance verification standards in the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and the Health Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China, WS/T 406-2012: the Quality Standard of Routine Tests in Clinical Hematology, the performance of PL-11 platelet analyzer in the detection of platelet count and platelet aggregation were evaluated. Platelet aggregation rate in healthy subjects was compared for correlation, which was detected by PL-11 platelet analyzer, LBY-NJ4 platelet tester and TEG-5000 thromboelastogram.

Results

The within-run and inter-day precisions of PL-11 platelet analyzer were<1/3 of total error (7%), and the carry-over rate was 0.32%. In (4.12-1 380.4)×109/L linear range, the regression equation slope was 1.03 (R2=0.993). The coincidence rate for platelet count by PL-11 platelet analyzer with reference method was 84%. There was no statistical significance of platelet aggregation rate among PL-11 platelet analyzer, LBY-NJ4 platelet tester and TEG-5000 thromboelastogram in 79 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P>0.05). However, there was statistical significance in platelet aggregation rates before and after taking clopidogrel hydrogen(P<0.01).

Conclusions

PL-11 platelet analyzer can provide accurate and reliable results for platelet count and aggregation.
