Quality parameters such as volume, haemoglobin (Hb), total Hb content, haematocrit (Hct), hemolysis, potassium, platelet count, leukocyte count, pH, and Factor VIII activity were compared between FA and SA systems.

FA\u2010prepared PPC units showed reduced leukocyte contamination and improved platelet yield, particularly in six\u2010pool concentrates, while maintaining comparable pH values.
