A method for obtaining a percent aggregation or inhibition of platelets
resulting from anti-platelet using a single blood sample is achieved. An
assay device is provided. The assay device has multiple channels, each
coupled to a common introduction port. A first platelet activator is
sensitive to activation pathway targeted by the anti-platelet drug. A
second platelet activator is insensitive to the activation pathway
targeted by the anti-platelet drug. An anti-coagulated sample is
introduced simultaneously to the first and second channels. A level of
platelet aggregation is simultaneously made in both channels.
