“…Most studies using the above classical methods showed PRT effects indicative of low to moderate loss of platelet in vitro function as compared to untreated platelets, progressively expressed during 5 to 7 days of storage (van Rhenen et al , ; Jansen et al , ; Picker et al , ; Perez‐Pujol et al , ; Apelseth et al , ; Lozano et al , ; Picker et al , ; Castrillo et al , ; Jackman et al , ; Sandgren et al , ; Hechler et al , ; Abonnenc et al , ; van Aelst et al , ; Johnson et al , ). However, some studies reported conflicting results, possibly due to differences in methods for platelet collection and preparation, use of 100% plasma or a mixture of plasma and platelet additive solution as storage media, donor‐to‐donor variability and variables of the testing protocols.…”
