LEUKOREDUCTION SYSTEM (LRS) CHAMBERS

During the platelet donation process, white blood cells are filtered from platelet products using a leukoreduction system (LRS), due to white cells’ tendency to cause a variety of transfusion reactions and other issues. Blood Centers used to discard these filtered cells, but found by gathering available groups and collecting them into an LRS chamber, waste of blood byproducts is minimized, and this powerful LRS chamber material can be utilized for research.
