Collection of white blood cell‐reduced plasma by apheresis

Abstract

The HSC bowl with the new software reliably produces WBC-reduced apheresis plasma, with a slight elongation of the procedure time.

A flow cytometric method for detection and enumeration of low‐level, residual red blood cells in platelets and mononuclear cell products

“…Early studies, primarily examining rRBCs in plasma products, used hemocytometer methods that were usually adequate for the technologies being examined. Limits of detection and linear ranges for these methods were generally not reported by the investigators 5,6 . In the evaluation of a new PLT apheresis device, Fournel and colleagues 4 used a microscopic method with a Neubauer chamber with a theoretical limit of detection of 1 RBC per 12.5 µL.…”
