title: Donors leukapheresis on Fenwal CS-3000.
abstract: Leukocytes were collected from 24 donors using Fenwal CS-3000 cell separator. Two different sedimentation agents in citric acid were used. After collection donors hematologic data were evaluated. No significant differences in product yield and in donors blood test were observed when in product yield and in donors blood test were observed when Dextran 110 or HES were used. The average donor leukocyte count declined by 30% after the completion of the procedure. Mean donor platelet count decrease an average by 23% (from 203 to 156 x 10(3)/microliters). Other hematologic data were consistent with hemodilution due to anticoagulant and saline solutions.
