A comparative study of platelet rich plasma stored in two kinds of platelet incubators / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the preservative indices of stored platelet and verify the effect of a new platelet incubator made in China. Methods 12 bags of fresh platelet rich plasma (PRP) were collected. Each bag was equally divided into 2.One bag was stored for 5 days in XHZ-IA platelet incubator which was made in China, and the other bag stored in FORMA-3606 platelet incubator made in USA. Some preservative indices of stored platelet e.g. aggregation rate, recovery rate after response to hypotonic shock, CD62p expression rate etc. were tested daily. Results There were no significant differences in these preservative indices between platelets stored in two platelet incubatorshas. Conclusion XHZ-IA platelet incubator has the same effect on PRP preservation as FORMA-3606 platelet incubator.
