title: 'Eccentriplate': a new centrifugal plate for platelet concentrates.
abstract: The evaluation of Dideco's Double Ring reveals a sensitive improvement on the Single Ring. This system provides a platelet concentrate of over 4x 10(11) platelets in 75 minutes. It is reasonable to envisage yet shorter and more efficient processes, as suggested by VALBONESI et al. However, considering the platelet transfusion requirements, it would be interesting to have a plastic 5-day preservation closed system.
