The VerifyNow P2Y12 Test is designed to measure platelet P2Y12 receptor blockade. Substances known to specifically block the P2Y12 receptor include ticagrelor and the thienopyridine class of drugs, including clopidogrel and prasugrel.1-8 The test is based upon the ability of activated platelets to bind fibrinogen. Fibrinogen-coated microparticles aggregate in whole blood in proportion to the number of expressed platelet GP IIb/IIIa receptors. Light transmittance increases as activated platelets
