It is important that the calculation of platelet component be performed using elasticity (e.g., CE, MCE) as opposed to clot amplitude (e.g., A, MCF) because of the nonlinear relationship between clot amplitude and CE, as indicated in Figure 1 and Table 3. Unlike amplitude, CE may be considered a reflection of the force with which the blood clot resists rotation within the device.
