Storage of Volume‐reduced Washed Platelets in M‐sol Additive Solution for 7 Days

Volume‐reduced washed platelets (VR‐wPLTs), which are prepared by concentrating platelets (PLTs) into a smaller volume of additive solution (AS), may prevent not only circulatory overload, but also adverse reactions caused by plasma components. Although VR‐wPLTs may be quickly degraded due to high PLT concentrations, few studies have examined the effects of storage on VR‐wPLTs. We examined here the in vitro properties of VR‐wPLTs prepared with M‐sol AS during their storage for 7 days.
