Three buffy coat platelet concentrates: Use of data modelling to make more with less
Data modelling supports 3BC-PC as a feasible alternative to 4BC-PC, offering increased production capacity. Modelled 3BC-PC met UK contingency and EU specifications. Compliance with the UK standard specification was variable and suggests the need for further optimization. Real-world validation would confirm whether this is a practical proposition.
