description

The exploration of thrombotic mechanisms relies on the application of blood collection methods from laboratory mice with a minimal pre-activation of platelets and the clotting system. So far, very little is known on how the blood collection method and the anticoagulant used influence pre-activation of mouse platelets and coagulation. To determine the most suitable blood collection method, we systematically compared blood collection by heart puncture,
