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.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Leukoreduced PLTs were pooled before storage (5 units/pool) and stored for either 5 or 7 days. Samples were collected at the time of pooling …
