Randomized trial compares platelets separated by gel filtration to traditional methods, indicating similar functionality.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of gel filtration in isolating hamster platelets while preserving their function.
Hamster platelets were separated using gel filtration, compared to those washed by centrifugation and those in native plasma.
Platelet aggregation was evaluated at various concentrations of ADP using phase microscopy.
Clot retraction was assessed for all platelet preparations.
GFP demonstrated similar aggregation to PRP at higher ADP concentrations, with slight morphological differences noted.
At lower ADP concentrations, GFP aggregated less than PRP.
GFP supported clot retraction comparably to PRP.

Tangen et al. (1971) studied this question.
