Comparison of platelets characteristics according to various processing methods

To date different techniques of platelet concentrates (PC) preparation and processing are proposed to achieve the best efficiency of transfusions and to minimize the risks post-transfusion reactions. However, data on the impact of different approaches to PC preparation and processing on morphological and functional characteristics of platelets and, as a consequence, the clinical efficacy of transfusions is controversial. In this paper we analyzed the impact of the platelet storage solution and different methods of pathogen inactivation (X-rays, UV-irradiation after photosensitization with riboflavin) on morphological and functional parameters of platelets. Our findings allow optimizing the technology of preparation and processing of PC to achieve greater effectiveness of transfusion therapy.
