  • Title: Donors thrombocytapheresis with last generation cell separators.
    Author: Valbonesi M, Frisoni R, Florio G, Ruzzenenti MR, Carlier P.
    Journal: Int J Artif Organs; 1993 Dec; 16 Suppl 5():119-24. PubMed ID: 8013968.
    Abstract:
    An exciting, fast moving and promising field remains the use of plasma-free synthetic medium for platelet storage (10, 11), that along with the potential for getting more plasma for therapeutic needs, might also improve the quality of stored platelets. Addition of acetate to solution, may be the way to obtain these results. An astonishing fact is that citrate remains the only anticoagulant for platelet collection, and remains as well the only real cause of donor discomfort during thrombocytapheresis.
