In order to recover plasma for use in other procedures, prevent transfusing huge volumes of plasma to patients, enhance storage conditions, and enable photochemical virus treatment, platelet additive solutions (PASs) can be used in place of plasma to store platelet concentrates (PCs).
Prior to transfusion, platelets (PLTs) are typically kept in storage for up to 5 days, while some blood services extend this time to 7 days.
Both the PLT and the storage medium undergo modifications during storage, which may cause PLT activation and malfunction.
Only a portion of the impacts on platelet metabolism linked to various components and variables in PAS is understood.
Platelet metabolism requires glucose to be present in the platelet storage media for the duration of storage, according to the research that are currently available.
Platelet metabolism uses acetate as a substrate, which lowers the amount of lactate that platelets produce. It maintains steady pH levels during storage by producing bicarbonate.
Because PAS has a very low buffering ability compared to plasma, the pH might drop quickly in medium containing PAS.
Platelets kept in PAS at an 8 mmol/l citrate concentration produce only half as much lactate as platelets held at a 14–26 mmol/l citrate concentration.
Global platelet storage device market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
An advanced platelet storage device from Bekele Scientific, a US manufacturer of blood banking and laboratory equipment, can hold up to 100 units.-new, large capacity, floor-standing platelet incubator and agitator for blood banks and medical facilities to store platelets.
The most common uses for platelets are in the treatment of cancer, major surgical procedures, and thrombocytopenia, a disease when there are not enough platelets in the blood.
This innovative medical device combines cutting-edge thermoelectric heating and cooling to keep platelets at the appropriate storage temperature advised by the AABB. It can store up to 100 units of platelets.
