Abstract
Background and Objectives The INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets utilizes amotosalen–HCl (S‐59) in combination with ultraviolet A (UVA) light to inactivate viruses, bacteria, protozoa and leucocytes that may contaminate platelet concentrates (PCs). To facilitate implementation of this technique into routine blood bank manufacturing procedures, this study evaluated the impact of different time settings of photochemical treatment on in vitro platelet function.
