One size doesn’t fit all: Should we reconsider the introduction of cold-stored platelets in blood bank inventories? [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Platelet concentrates are universally prepared with a standard method and stored for 5 days at room temperature (20–24°C) in gentle agitation. Currently, there is a renewed interest in the possibility of storing platelet concentrates below the standard temperatures. In fact, cold platelets might be...
