1. An apparatus for measuring hemostasis comprising:

  • a. a container adapted to hold a blood sample, the container including a portion transparent to an emission from a sensor;

    b. a shaker adapted to displace the container in order to cause a resonant excitation of the blood sample, the blood sample being excited to a resonant state; and

    c. the sensor adapted to determine a movement of the blood sample corresponding to the resonant excitation of the blood sample within the container responsive to the displacement of the container by the shaker by generating the emission and directing the emission toward the blood sample through the portion;

    d. wherein data from the sensor is indicative of the resonant state of the blood sample and the shaker is configured to displace the container at a displacement frequency and configured to vary the displacement frequency responsive to changes in the resonant state of the blood sample.
