We compared three methods for preparing leukocyte-poor platelet concentrates from random donors:
the centrifugation procedure 400 g/6 min, the filtration by Immugard TFIG 500 Y and the Cutter Leukotrap platelet
pooling system. The most efficient method with regard to removal of leukocytes and platelet yield could be obtained
by filtration through the Immugard filter. Platelet loss was less than 10% and the residual leukocyte count was lower
than 10 x 10^6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
