Platelets stored at room temperature (22–24°C) for transfusion purposes have a shelf life of 5–7 days, or 72 h when stored refrigerated (1–6°C). The limited shelf life of platelet products severely compromises platelet inventory. We hypothesized that cold storage of platelets in 100% plasma using xenon gas under high pressure would extend shelf life to 14 days.
