title: Detection and analysis of particles during thrombocytapheresis with a Haemonetics V 50 cellseparator.
abstract: One type of cellseparators (Haemonetic V 50) was investigated by us concerning the problem whether particles disintegrate during the donation from the tubing set. We did find particles in the range from 18 microns to 180 microns consisting of silicone or aluminum.
