Buffy Coat Pooling Kit with filter

The Teruflex BP-Kit with Imugard III-S PL from Terumo is an all-in-one system with pooling arms for sterile connection of buffy-coats, pooling bag, integrated leukocyte filter for pooled platelet concentrate, storage bag and sampling bag, designed to produce and preserve high yield leukodepleted platelet concentrate.

Highly biocompatible micro-porous Polyurethane
– efficient leukodepletion of pools from fresh or overnight stored buffy-coats
– excellent recovery of platelets with plasma or platelet additive solution
– preservation of platelet integrity and optimal storage
– absence of particle release during filtration
– no activation of contact and complement systems
– leukocyte removal exclusively by sieving mechanism
– no cellular activation or destruction

Soft housing
– no hazard of damage during transport or storage of bags
– no breakage during processing caused by incidental shock
– convenient and safe for centrifugation
– easy priming and controlled filtration with pooling arms and pooling bag
– compatibility of tubing with sterile connecting device
– 6 + 1 pooling arms, 8 convenient clamps
