Quality of platelet concentrates after three‐day storage following 265 nm ultraviolet <scp>C</scp> ‐light‐emitting diode irradiation
These results indicate that UVC-irradiated platelets maintain sufficient quality for practical use even after storage. Although this was a bench-scale study, our findings suggest that irradiation of PCs with 265 nm UVC-LED may enhance the safety of blood transfusions while preserving their efficacy.
