A CLX (Cutter Laboratories, Berkeley, Calif.) bag system was evaluated for storage of single-donor apheresis platelets collected with the Haemonetics V-50 blood processor. Concentrates (n = 21) containing 3.9-5.2 x 10(11) platelets in 292 (+/- 41.8) ml were stored in two 1-liter bags for 7 days at 22 degrees C. pH was well maintained, declining from an initial pH of 7.0 (+/- 0.04) to 6.92 (+/- 0.20) after 7 days. Platelet morphology, response to a hypotonic stimulus and aggregation induced by paired agonists (epinephrine and ADP, or collagen) were also well-preserved. Concentrates with a wide variation of platelet yields (2.0 greater than or equal to 5.2 x 10(11), n = 43) also maintained pH (6.96 +/- 0.26), morphology and aggregation when stored for 7 days. All platelet concentrates (n = 64) were sterile at collection. Single-donor apheresis platelets may be stored in this bag system for up to 7 days.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
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

D001793 Blood Preservation The process by which blood or its components are kept viable outside of the organism from which they are derived (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism).
