ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for machine separation of blood and blood components that utilizes improved administeration of anticoagulant to the red cell suspension output. Anticoagulant is added to incoming whole blood in an amount sufficient to prevent clotting of the whole blood in the flow path upstream of the blood component separator, but in an amount insufficient to prevent clotting of the red cell suspension created by the separator. Anticoagulant is added to the red cell suspension downstream of the separator in order to prevent clotting. By adding an additional aliquot of anticoagulant to the red cell suspension, the amount of anticoagulant added to whole blood before separation can be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increase in platelet yield during the blood component separation step.
