Validation of use of the Nageotte hemocytometer to count low levels of white cells in white cell-reduced platelet components.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The introduction of prestorage white cell (WBC) reduction in random-donor platelet concentrates in Canada has increased the occurrence of particulate material in PCs. The effects of filtration on platelet activation state and the activation of plasma enzyme systems were assessed. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:Pa...
