do you have a standard or method(paper) that you reference for this dilution?

We are deveoloping a policy for incompatible plts/we call med director if incompatible plasma is required-we don't have plasma supply problem. We do not titre plts but are now pooling plts using buffy coat poor methods and our pooled plts were a pool of 5 donors plasma(we would plasma reduce apheresis plts) but now the pool is 80% one donor and 20% 3 other donors. Now we are having problems with any incompatible plt issue.

do you know the european standard? I would like to reference it in my COP. Thanks again for you help. We do mostly manual work so I may adopt a Peg IAT instead of gel-does this make sense?

I need to determine the unsafe endpoint of a manual tube room temp titre to prevent hemolytic reactions for receipient of ABO incompatible Pooled Plt or ABO incompatible Apheresis plts. I've seen several different titres (1/50, 1/100, 1/200 and 1/256) but I do not want to exclude safe donors. Is anyone performing these at their facility. thx
