Platelet surface coverage on non polymer-coated and polymer-coated coverslips. Citrated blood samples were perfused through a parallel-plate perfusion chamber containing uncoated and polymer-coated coverslips at a shear rate of 600 s−1, 800 s−1 and 1200 s−1. (A) Representative images of phase contrast microscopy showing platelet surface coverage (magnification; x10). (B) Percentage of platelet surface coverage area under the different flow conditions. Data from 2 independent experiments performed in triplicate are expressed as mean ± SD (*P < 0.05), (**p < 0.01).
