Abstract
We have compared the leukapheresis products collected on the Fenwal CS 3000 Plus and COBE Spectra in a well-controlled patient population. Wh ile statistically significant differences were found, i.e. in product hematocrit, volume, number of granulocytes and platelets collected, th ese are not felt to be physiologically important. Similar efficiency i n collecting mononuclear cells and colony forming unit assay results i ndicate that each instrument is capable of harvesting hematopoietic pr ogenitor cells from peripheral blood.
