Abstract
During the last two decades the demand for platelet concentrates (PC) required for treatment of thrombocytopenic patients receiving multiple transfusions of PC has been steadily growing. This demand has been met by increasing rate of preparation of PC using conventional methods as well as by developing novel techniques. As a consequence there has been a need to improve our understanding on functional changes of the platelet during processing and storage of PC and to develop methods suitable for quality monitoring of critical stages in that process.
