Cytometrists,
Has anyone had any experience doing the heparin-induced 
thrombocytopenia assay (detection of platelet microparticles by flow 
cytometry)?  This was described in Brit.J.Haem., 1996,95:724-731.
We're particularly interested in anyone with experience using Coulter 
flow cytometers.  We're having difficulty seeing a microparticle 
response in patients previously tested positive with the platelet 
aggregation method.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Michaeleen
