Multiplate® ASA Reagent is a reagent kit containing aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) at 30 mg/mL to be used as a quality control material in platelet aggregation studies with the Multiplate® analyzer.
Acetylsalicylic acid produces an antiplatelet effect by inhibiting the production of thromboxane, which under normal circumstances promotes platelet binding to each other and the injury site of the damaged walls of blood vessels.

Addition of ASA Control to blood samples leads to reduced aggregation in the ASPItest and the COLtest. Upon addition to the blood sample, the platelet cyclooxygenase pathway is blocked and the cyclooxygenase-dependent Multiplate tests, ASPItest and COLtest are inhibited. This allows the assessment of an abnormal response in these tests.
