Abstract
Interest in platelet scanning with IIIIndium-oxine labeled platelets is increasing. Although many methods are available, critical details of platelet labeling and quality control are often omitted. We describe a detailed technique that should be helpful to those unfamiliar with the special requirements of platelet labeling. The method requires ~ 90 min, uses common reagents, and yields a viable population of platelets with labeling efficiencies in excess of 95%.
