Platelets collected using these plateletpheresis systems have in vitro function and in vivo survival characteristics equal to platelets prepared from whole blood [10, 23, 36, 39, 48–52]. The platelets survived normally when autologous transfusions of radiolabeled platelets were given to normal research donors, and platelets collected by apheresis caused the expected increase in platelet count in patients with thrombocytopenia [36, 39, 53]. The preservation medium and the size and composition of the storage container make it possible to routinely store platelet concentrates produced by apheresis in a volume of about 200 mL for 5 days [54].
