UV light-emitting diode (UV-LED) at 265 nm as a potential light source for disinfecting human platelet concentrates.

UV light-emitting diode (UV-LED) at 265 nm as a potential light source for disinfecting human platelet concentrates.

The risk of sepsis through bacterial transmission is one of the most serious problems in platelet transfusion. In processing platelet concentrates (PCs), several methods have been put into practice to minimize the risk of bacterial transmission, such as stringent monitoring by cultivation assays and...
