A whole platelet experiment in 12 mL.
Study small-volume samples drawn from platelet concentrates for up to 7 days. Mini-Bag aliquots mirror the in-vitro quality measures of the parent unit, so what you observe at the bench translates back to the donor.
Designed for the questions standard bags can't answer.
Replicate experiments from a single donor concentrate. Lower donor burden, higher statistical power.
Match the operational window of clinical platelet inventories — without diverting clinical product.
In-vitro quality measures in the Mini-Bag track the source concentrate across storage.
Identify poor-storing or contaminated units via pH trend without breaching sterility.
