Hi again - I'm running blood over some surfaces under flow with a syringe pump. The problem is that the blood seems to settle extremely quickly when it is on it's side in the pump. A colleague suggested putting a stir bar inside the syringe but I am worried about activating the platelets and since the primary objective of this experiment is to assess platelet adhesion, I don't know if that's a good idea. Any other suggestions or at least a maximum speed so that I do not skew the results?
