Abstract
Platelets will generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via glycolysis even in the presence of adequate supplies of oxygen, though the rate of lactate production is greatly accelerated in oxygen-depleted conditions. In common with many other countries, the United Kingdom has retained pH as a principal indicator of quality in platelet concentrates (PCs), with a specification for pH SB 22°C sb levels >=6.4 at end of storage.
