Thanks in advance.Hi David, As I am not an expert on this, I will just refer you to 2 articles in Transfusion: Detecting Bacteria in plateletr Concentrates by Use of Reagent Strips. Welch JB, Mhawech P, Stager CE, Banez EI and Lichtiger B. Transfusion 42: 1027-1031: 2002 Rapid Identification of Bacterially Contaminated Platelets Using Reagent Strips: Gllucose and pH Analysis as Markers of Bacterial Metabolism. Burstain JM, Brecher ME, Workman K, Foster M, Faber GH, Mair D. Transfusion 37: 255-258: 1997 Hope this helps. Mike Conway, MT(ASCP)SBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
