Influence of the centrifugation scheme on residual platelet count (A), PAI-1 activity level (B) and GFC (C). Settings: (A) single centrifugation (1,500 g, 15 min) with no freeze-thawing cycle before analysis, (B) double centrifugation (1,500 g, 15 min) with no freeze-thawing cycle before analysis, (C) double centrifugation (1,500 g, 15 min) before a freeze-thawing cycle and analysis, (D) single centrifugation (1,500 g, 15 min) before a freeze-thawing cycle and analysis, (E) one centrifugation (1,500 g, 15 min) before and another (1,500 g, 15 min) after a freeze-thawing cycle before analysis. The line dividing the box into two parts represents the median of the data. The ends of the box show the upper (Q3) and lower (Q1) quartiles. The extreme line shows the highest and lowest value excluding potential outliers according to the following formula: Q3 + 1.5xIQR (maximum) and Q1-1.5xIQR (minimum). Black dots beyond the extreme line show potential outliers, grey dots represent individual data. *p < 0.05; ns = not significant
