70 plateletpheresis were performed in a clinical study to evaluate the quality of platelet-rich-plasma prepared by the new developed Haemonetics-Ultralite-Plasmacollection system. The procedure took in average 54 minutes, resulting in a platelet content of 1.6 X 10(11) platelets. Platelets function (hypotonic stress response, ADP- and collagen-induced aggregation) was well maintained. The after differential centrifugation prepared platelet concentrate may be stored in the collection bag for 1 day at room temperature with acceptable functional recovery.

D010956	Plasmapheresis	Procedure whereby plasma is separated and extracted from anticoagulated whole blood and the red cells retransfused to the donor. Plasmapheresis is also employed for therapeutic use.

D010974	Platelet Aggregation	The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS.	Aggregation, Platelet
D001772	Blood Cell Count	The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.
