1. The formation of a stable fluorescent product between chloroacetaldehyde and adenine or its derivatives provides the basis of a rapid simple assay for total adenine compounds in blood platelets and in plasma. The assay will measure down to 200pmol of adenine nucleotides. An evaluation of the method established the optimum conditions for the production of maximum fluorescence. 2. Values obtained for total adenine compounds in platelets were 12.9nmol/10(8) cells in man and 7.8nmol/10(8) cells in rat. These closely agree with previous values for total platelet adenine nucleotides found by using a firefly luciferase assay, or a recycled NAD-linked photometric assay. This supports the concept that the chloroacetaldehyde reaction measures total adenine nucleotides in platelets. 3. Platelet aggregation induced by collagen was studied photometrically in 0.1ml volumes of citrated platelet-rich plasma, and total adenine nucleotides were assayed in platelets and plasma before and after aggregation. During aggregation 58% of adenine nucleotides were released from human platelets, and 36% from rat platelets. 4. The chloroacetaldehyde assay is no substitute for more sophisticated procedures, but is a simple sensitive means of monitoring the release of adenine nucleotides from blood platelets and is particularly valuable when small plasma samples must be used.
