  • Title: Preparation of concentrated platelet suspensions by dehydration against polyethyleneglycol 20,000.
    Author: Akkerman JW, Gorter G, Wester J, Sixma JJ.
    Journal: Scand J Haematol; 1976 Jul; 17(1):71-7. PubMed ID: 959777.
    Abstract:
    Gel filtered platelet suspensions were concentrated by repeated dehydration against polyethyleneglycol 20,000 followed by dialysis against slightly hypotonic buffer. This method increased the platelet concentration 2-3 times with a recovery of 80-100%. The final cell suspension closely resembled the original platelet rich plasma as tested by a number of platelet tests.
