Human platelets were induced by 2.1-megahertz ultrasound to form aggregates around gas-filled pores in membranes immersed in platelet-rich plasma. The spatial peak intensities required were only about 16 to 32 milliwatts per square centimeter. Ultrasound generated by a medical Doppler device, whose intensity exceeded this, induced aggregate formation under the same conditions.
Programmable calculators or minicomputers can be used in many laboratory activities, including tasks for which large numbers of data must be analyzed. A technic for organizing data into records and files for storage on magnetic tape and for using an index to find the locations of stored data quickly is described. Applications of the technic for analysis of quality control results, determination of potential HLA-compatible tissue donors, and analysis of laboratory administrative data are presented. These applications were written for use with a small programmable calculator.
