The factors which contribute to the formation of microaggregates in stored blood for transfusion have been discussed and their significance assessed. The history of the development of blood microfiltration is described. The advantages and disadvantages of screen microfilters in comparison with depth filters are considered. Screen filters with a pore diameter of about 40 micron would appear to have definite advantages.
