The effect of mode of agitation and type of plastic bag on storage characteristics and in vivo kinetics of platelet concentrates
Abstract
We studied the characteristics of platelet concentrates stored for 5 days at 22 degrees C. Platelets were prepared in three plastic bags (PL 732, PL 1240, and CLX) and stored on one of four platelet agitators, 1- or 6-rpm elliptical and 2- or 6-rpm circular rotators. A total of 76 studies were divided among 12 groups, each group being composed of a different storage bag-rotator combination. In vivo recovery and survival were calculated using …
