Hematology reagents used to obtain aggregation patterns that are typically analyzed photometrically using a platelet aggregometer. These reagents usually include collagen, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, and ristocetin. Platelet aggregation assays are mostly used to classify hereditary and acquired platelet disorders. Increased values of platelet aggregation may indicate thrombosis (i.e., it is considered a thrombophilia marker).
