In vitro evaluation of prestorage pooled leukoreduced whole blood–derived platelets stored for up to 7 days

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Advantages to storing whole blood-derived platelets (PLTs) as a pool for 7 days would include operational efficiencies and facilitation of bacterial testing and pathogen inactivation. The in vitro quality of pre-storage pooled PLTs stored for up to 7 days was assessed.
