Preparation and Storage of Platelet Concentrates: I. FACTORS INFLUENCING THE HARVEST OF VIABLE PLATELETS FROM WHOLE BLOOD

Preparation and Storage of Platelet Concentrates: I. FACTORS INFLUENCING THE HARVEST OF VIABLE... Summary. Factors affecting the yield and viability of concentrated platelets have been investigated in a blood component programme. It was found that 86± 1% of the platelets from a unit of whole blood can be concentrated without loss of viability by processing ACD or CPD anticoagulated blood at room temperature. The steps are initial centrifugation at 1000 g for 9 min to harvest platelet‐rich plasma; centrifugation of the platelet‐rich plasma at 3000 g for 20 min to pack the platelets; and resuspension of the platelet pellet in residual plasma after 11/2 h. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png British Journal of Haematology Wiley

Abstract

Summary. Factors affecting the yield and viability of concentrated platelets have been investigated in a blood component programme. It was found that 86± 1% of the platelets from a unit of whole blood can be concentrated without loss of viability by processing ACD or CPD anticoagulated blood at room temperature. The steps are initial centrifugation at 1000 g for 9 min to harvest platelet‐rich plasma; centrifugation of the platelet‐rich plasma at 3000 g for 20 min to pack the platelets; and resuspension of the platelet pellet in residual plasma after 11/2 h.
