    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Transfusion Medicine

    Background:

    • Neutropenic patients often require granulocyte transfusions for infection control.
    • Existing methods for granulocyte harvesting can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment like cell separators.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, equipment-free method for granulocyte harvesting.
    • To assess the efficiency and practicality of this method compared to traditional approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Harvesting granulocytes from fresh concentrated erythrocyte collections with buffy coat.
    • Utilizing a method that requires no special equipment.

    Main Results:

    • The described method allows for granulocyte recovery without specialized equipment.

  • It is significantly less time-consuming for technologists and requires no medical staff time compared to cell separators.
  • An equivalent number of granulocytes can be recovered.

    • Conclusions:

    • This technique makes granulocyte transfusion feasible in settings lacking leukopheresis programs.
    • It offers a practical and accessible option for supporting neutropenic patients.
