Dynamic Light Scattering
Measuring Platelet Quality and
Bacterial Contamination

The Problem
• Platelet transfusions used to treat and/or prevent bleeding
• Number of platelet transfusions produced per year:
Canada:
United States:
Europe:
300,000
2,000,000
2,500,000
• Platelets are sensitive to stress (e.g., cold damage)
• Activated platelets do not help patients.
Storage at 22ºC to prevent cold damage
Increased risk for bacterial growth
Shortages - addressed by increasing donor recruitment

The Problem: Clinical Situation
No non-invasive in vitro test available
 Tested inventory cannot be transfused
 Platelet quality / bacterial testing cannot be mandated
Transfusion outcome serves as retrospective
platelet quality indicator.
Good outcome
 Assumption:
good platelets
4 of 17
Bad outcome
 Assumption:
bad platelets
The Problem: Summary
• at least 20% discard rate
• Additional 10% discarded after testing (invasive technology)
 Unknown quality of transfused platelets
• $1,000 / transfusion
 Worldwide loss of at least 1 billion dollars per year
In summary:
 Unknown platelet quality is a safety issue
 Discarded platelet transfusions are a financial burden


49 patients enrolled, 160 transfusions
Location: Vancouver General Hospital
Data collected:
 DLS-PM scores
 1h and 24h patient platelet counts
 transfusion merit

• No single instrument can determine platelet
quality and function in multiple dimensions
• Impedance
• Optical
• Immunofluorescence
• Hematology analyzers cannot assess bacterial
contamination  BacT/Alert required

Summary
DLS-PM: The only technology for
noninvasive bacterial detection and platelet
quality testing at the same time
 Mandated technology for hospitals / blood banks
 10,000 hospitals / blood banks in North America
 Extended shelf life - reduced outdate-discard rate
 Patient safety
 Monitor manufacturing processes
