Key result
Glass-bead column age significantly alters measured platelet adhesiveness, requiring age-matched columns for valid comparisons.
Why the study?
Platelet adhesiveness measured with the glass-bead column technique is dependent on the age of the glass-bead columns, affecting validity of absolute comparisons.

Unmatched column ages may confound absolute adhesiveness comparisons; leaves open standardization needs for future platelet studies.
When measuring platelet adhesiveness using the glass-bead column technique, columns must be matched for age to ensure valid comparison of absolute levels.
Peter N. Bennett (1968) studied this question. Platelet adhesiveness measured with the glass-bead column technique is dependent on column age, requiring age-matched columns for valid comparisons of absolute adhesiveness levels.
