Fig. 3.

Density dot plot and corresponding cytograms of a representative control using the analysis template. (A) The density dot plot (bottom right) depicts microclot events, as defined by the intensity mask. The x-axis of the density dot plot represents the area of intensity in channel 7, while the y-axis represents the intensity in channel 7. (B) The top right graph displays a cytogram projection of the x-axis on the density dot plot, (C) while the bottom left graph represents a cytogram projection of the y-axis on the density dot plot. Both cytograms depict the frequency or number of events along each axis. As demonstrated in the density dot plot, the microclot events within the control sample are very low, resulting in a very low frequency in both cytograms. The number of objects per milliliter is 28329 objects/mL. Abbreviations: PPP, platelet poor plasma.
