Promising platelets: potential benefits and extended life-span of cold-stored and cryopreserved platelets
Journal Title: Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The advent of component therapy and evolution of Apheresis technology has led to widespread usage of platelet transfusions. It is estimated that over 2•9 million platelet products are used annually in Europe alone [1]. The storage temperature of platelets has been the subject of much controversy and scrutiny within transfusion science. The current storage temperature of platelets prepared by both pooled buffy coats and by apheresis is 22+2°C.
