Claim:
An apparatus for platelet multi-function analysis comprising: a stirring microchip having a sample storage chamber formed therein to hold a blood sample, and containing a reagent for platelet aggregation; a microstirrer installed inside the stirring microchip to induce a shear flow in the blood sample; a stirring induction unit configured to induce stirring of the micro stirrer; a sensor installed inside the stirring microchip to measure adhesion and aggregation levels of platelets; and a control unit configured to control operation of the stirring induction unit and process a signal measured by the sensor, wherein the reagent is supplied to the blood sample by injecting the reagent into the microstirrer, sealing the microstirrer by means of a membrane installed at both sides of the microstirrer, and removing the the membrane by means of a centrifugal force.
