For some years, there has been an increasing success in transplanting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) instead of autologous bone marrow in patients suffering from different malignancies. While collecting PBSC for autologous transplantation, we compared four different separation techniques and three different cell separators (COBE Spectra, Fresenius AS 104, Haemonetics V50) routinely used for platelet production. Our results suggest that continuous flow separators seem to have some advantage over discontinuous flow machines in harvesting PBSC.
