PRELIMINARY MARKET CONSULTATION NOTICE For the provision of equipment, reagents and maintenance services required for the delivery of Platelet Function Testing using an analyser with combined assessment of aggregation and bioluminescent response technology

Tender description

Lumiaggregometry is useful in a medical setting as part of a testing protocol to detect disorders of platelet function. Platelet function disorders are important causes of abnormal bleeding. Platelet function disorders are heterogeneous in nature and require a panel of tests to aid diagnosis. Part of this panel is detection of disorders of platelet secretion. Lumiaggregometry is a bioluminescent method that assesses platelet dense granule ATP release to assess for platelet secretion defects.
