Hemostasis
Guidelines on the laboratory aspects of assays used in haemostasis and thrombosis. Peter Baker, et al. on behalf of the British Society for Haematology, Haemostasis and Thrombosis Task Force. First published June 2020.
Abstract: This guideline amalgamates and updates two previous guidelines published on behalf of the British Society of Haematology (BSH) and is intended to help clinical laboratories perform high quality valid assays for the basic procoagulants and anticoagulants as part of a routine diagnostic service.

Abstract: Platelet Function Testing by Aggregometry; Proposed Guideline provides concrete, standard procedures for using aggregometry to assess platelet function in patient specimens and samples, with the intent to achieve greater uniformity of results by laboratories following these guidelines. Descriptions of light transmission aggregometry, whole blood impedenceaggregometry, and shear-flow technologies are provided so both long-time and new users may stablish consistent, reproducible platelet function testing programs in their laboratories.
