Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 C in the sealed bag provided.
Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Gel pack with blue ice.

Thromboxane B2 is a metabolite of thromboxane A2 which is known to be highly unstable under physiological conditions. Thromboxane B2 is recognized as a valuable substance for study of a variety of biochemical processes as well as important synthetic precursor to thromboxane A2.Several syntheses of thromboxane B2 have been completed, either in racemic form or deriving the stereocenters from a chiral pool. The Burke group is currently endeavoring to complete the total synthesis of thromboxane B2. Thromboxane B2 is an inactive metabolite/product of thromboxane A2. It is almost completely cleared in the urine.It itself is not involved in platelet activation and aggregation in case of a wound, but its precursor, thromboxane A2, is. Thromboxane A2 synthesis is the target of the drug aspirin, which inhibits the COX-1 enzyme (the source of thromboxane A2 in platelets).
