The PFA-100 (Platelet Function Assay [1] or Platelet Function Analyser [2]) is a platelet function analyser that aspirates blood in vitro from a blood specimen into disposable test cartridges through a microscopic aperture cut into a biologically active membrane at the end of a capillary.
The PFA-100 (Platelet Function Assay — 100) is a system for analysing platelet function in which citrated whole blood is aspirated through a disposable cartridge containing an aperture within a membrane coated with either collagen and epinephrine or collagen and ADP. These agonists induce platelet adhesion, activation and aggregation, leading ...
Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA) are fluoropolymers. They are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (C 2 F 4) and perfluoroethers (C 2 F 3 OR f, where R f is a perfluorinated group such as trifluoromethyl (CF 3)). The properties of these polymers are similar to those of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Compared to PTFE, PFA has better anti-stick ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS [1] or PFASs [2]) are a group of synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain; there are 7 million such chemicals according to PubChem. [3]
Performic acid (PFA) is an organic compound with the formula CH 2 O 3. It is an unstable colorless liquid which can be produced by mixing formic acid with hydrogen peroxide . Owing to its oxidizing and disinfecting action, it is used in the chemical, medical and food industries.
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) refers to methods intended to predict imminent failure of systems or components (software or hardware), and potentially enable mechanisms to avoid or counteract failure issues, or recommend maintenance of systems prior to failure.
Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or emit light.
