Platelet Research Products & Thrombosis Assay Tools
Cardinal Bioresearch provides one of Australia’s most comprehensive ranges of platelet thrombosis research products – supporting scientists, hospitals, and universities in understanding platelet function, thrombosis, and cardiovascular disease.
With over 30 years of experience in medical research, we supply validated reagents, devices, and peptides used globally in drug discovery, rare and chronic diseases, and cardiovascular research. Our aim is to help researchers investigate platelet activation, aggregation, and clot formation, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility across every study.
Advancing innovation in platelet thrombosis research
Platelets play a vital role in maintaining normal hemostasis, yet abnormalities in platelet activation and platelet aggregation are closely linked to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, venous thrombosis, and ischemic stroke.
Our platelet thrombosis research products in Australia support the study of these mechanisms, helping researchers identify risk factors, understand endothelial dysfunction, and develop more effective treatments that reduce bleeding risk and improve patient outcomes.
Through partnerships with leading global institutions, Cardinal Bioresearch ensures Australian researchers have access to reliable, ethical, and performance-tested laboratory materials for platelet-rich plasma studies, vascular smooth muscle cell models, and more.

Digital Storage Device Digital Storage Device (DSD)
The Digital Storage Device (DSD) is a patented and CE-marked platelet storage device designed to preserve platelet-rich plasma and isolated platelets for up to seven days at room temperature.
The DSD gently agitates the platelets to mimic their natural movement in the bloodstream, maintaining function without cooling or freezing. This innovation has become an essential part of platelet thrombosis research, enabling consistency across clinical situations and drug discovery projects.
Key benefits:
- Maintains platelet viability and function for up to seven days
- Eliminates the need for cooling or freezing
- Portable with an inbuilt battery for easy transport between research sites
- Reduces dependence on blood donors in experimental applications
Developed in collaboration with European universities, the DSD supports research into normal hemostasis, bleeding prevention, and thrombus formation – offering reproducibility for laboratories worldwide.
Collagen Related Peptide (CRP-A)
The Collagen Related Peptide (CRP-A) is a strong platelet agonist used by some of the most prestigious laboratories across the globe – including Cambridge and Oxford Universities, Harvard Medical School, and the Heart Research Institute.
CRP-A is proven to fully activate platelets via the Glycoprotein GPVI receptor pathway, forming a triple helical structure that supports precise platelet function and aggregation analysis.
This peptide is a trusted tool in hematology, cardiovascular research, drug delivery, and rare and chronic diseases.
Product highlights:
- Demonstrates full activity across three solvents
- Stable, scalable, and consistent across batches
- High purity (>99%) with a high dose response
- Two-year shelf life
- Used to study mechanisms of procoagulant platelets, vascular smooth muscle cells, and tissue factor activation
CRP-A remains a cornerstone of platelet thrombosis research – providing researchers with the confidence to explore bleeding events, major bleeding, and platelet disorders under validated laboratory conditions.
Store & Preserve Functional Platelets
The Digital Storage Device (DSD) has been specifically designed and developed to store and preserve Platelets for up to seven days at room temperature. Our patented and CE marked DSD is the culmination of over seven years of research, testing and development in collaboration with several Universities and Laboratories in Europe.
