Patent abstract

There is provided a method for assessing the quality of platelet concentrates for determining their suitability for transfusion. More specifically dynamic light scattering measurements of the samples containing platelets are obtained and parameters, such as hydrodynamic radius and relative number of platelet-derived microparticles, are derived from these measurements that are indicative of platelet quality.
