Abstract
Filter columns (Imugard® filters) packed with cotton wool prepared from Gossypium barbadense cotton removed 95–100% of leukocytes from packed red cell suspensions. Recovery of red cells was about 95%. The efficacy was similar for ACD and heparinized blood. Blood was filtered below 10°C within 30 min under pressures of less than 0.2 kg/cm2. The shape and functions of the red cells were not altered by filtration. No pyrogenic or toxic substances, and little particulate matter were eluted from the filters.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
