Galena-Schreyer Sample

The Galen-Schreyer test is a method that is used to determine the number of platelets in the blood. This method was developed in the 18th century by the German physician Carl Schreyer and the Roman physician Galen.

The Galen-Schreyer test is based on the fact that when a special solution containing calcium chloride is added to blood, red blood cells are destroyed, and the remaining blood platelets (platelets) stick to the walls of the test tube. After this, the number of platelets remaining in the solution is counted.

This method is widely used in clinical practice to diagnose various diseases associated with bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, thrombocythemia and others. It can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for platelet deficiency.

However, it should be noted that the Galen-Schreyer test is not the only method for determining platelet count. There are other methods such as the optical method, the Fonio method or the Folch method that can also be used for this purpose.

The Galen-Schreyer test (G.S.P. in abbreviated Latin) is considered the oldest test, or test, used in medicine to determine the ability of blood to clot or not to clot. It was developed a century ago by two great medical scientists of their time: S. Galenus (129-199 AD) and C. Schreyer (17th century AD).
