Three different synthetic media without glucose were studied for platelet storage. The first medium contained acetate and gluconate. The second contained acetate, gluconate and citrate. Finally the third contained phosphate and mannitol. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there were differences among the various media in terms of preservation of platelet quality. Pools of platelet concentrates were prepared from buffy coats. In vitro function and metabolic parameters were measured during 5 days of storage in these additive solutions as well as in plasma. Platelet aggregation, hypotonic shock response and release of beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4 and lactate dehydrogenase of the cytosol were equivalent in the media containing acetate compared to plasma storage. In vitro platelet functions and pH in these two media were better preserved compared to the medium with phosphate and mannitol. In addition bacteriological studies using platelets suspended in additive solutions or in plasma were carried out. Carryover of 20% of plasma to the synthetic media necessary for successful platelet storage in these additive solutions allows bacteriological growth. As shown, inoculation of 1 colony/ml Staphylococcus epidermidis leads to 10(6)-10(7) organisms/ml after 5 days of storage.
