    Our experience with cell separator led us to the conclusion that platelet concentration is rather high (6,94 X 10(11)/L), especially in the part of separated blood which contains significant percentage of erythrocytes. A considerable amount of leukocytes (1,6 X 10(10)/L) can be separated as well. It should be mentioned that leukocyte concentrations are significantly higher when Dexan is administered intravenously and Plasmasteril is used. Therapeutic plasmapheresis requires different approach which varies from the usual work with blood donors, since complications can be expected. Appropriate choice of plasma substituents should be made, as well as constant monitoring of electrocardiographic changes in patients.

    Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation

    Cell separation was first achieved in 1964 by S. H. Seal, who separated large tumor cells from the smaller blood cells using filtration. Two years later, Pohl and Hawk performed experiments on how cells respond differently to a nonuniform electric field based on the cell type. Such observations were the inception of cell separation methods, which allow isolating a single cell type from a heterogeneous sample.
