[New methodical approach to the study of platelet aggregation in vitro].

A new approach to the investigation of the kinetics of platelet aggregation is described. The method is based on the analysis of light transmission fluctuations produced on the changes in the number of platelets in optical channel. The relative dispersion of the fluctuations of transmitted light intensity was used as a parameter to estimate the degree of platelet aggregation. Application of this method for the analysis of platelet aggregation permits to get new information about this process.
