Logistics of platelet production: platelet concentrate from one-day-old blood stored at 10 degrees C.
Platelet concentrates were prepared from blood stored at 18 to 20 hours at either 10 +/- 2 degrees C or 16 +/- 2 degrees C. Platelets prepared from blood stored at 10 degrees C had good in vitro properties. The results were not distinguishable from those obtained with freshly-isolated platelets. The in vivo effectiveness of platelets prepared in this manner must be established.
