in vitro activation and loss of viability. We examined the effects of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
on in vitro function and P-Selectin expression of platelet concentrates. Fresh random-donor
platelet units (n= 60) were divided into four equal groups. A DMSO-free group was chosen
as a control. DMSO (0.5%, 1.0% and 3.0%) was added to the other three groups. The
samples were stored on a horizontal shaker at room temperature. Biochemical …
