Downscaling to small‐volume storage bags supports platelet quality and efficient use of cold‐stored platelets for preclinical studies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To maximize the utilization of cold‐stored platelets (CSPs) in preclinical research, the use of small‐volume storage bags (mini‐bags) or tubes would allow multiple treatment groups to be investigated from a single component. It is necessary to determine the effect of using downscaled storage formats on CSP quality and function ...
