In 112 plateletphereses done by the Haemonetics blood processor, the comparative effectiveness of ACD formula A, ACD formula B, and 2 per cent citrate in saline was evaluated. With respect to yields of platelets and white blood cells (e.g., lymphocytes), ACD‐B was significantly better than the other two. Both ACD‐B and 2 per cent citrate gave a much lower incidence of citrate reactions in the donors than were encountered with ACD‐A.
