Automated programs for collection of mononuclear cells and progenitor cells by two separators for peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation: comparison by a randomized crossover study

BACKGROUND: Although automated programs have been increasingly used to collect peripheral blood (PB) progenitor cells (PBPCs), differences among them remain unclear. The automated programs of Amicus (Baxter Healthcare) and Spectra (software Version 6.1, Gambro BCT) apheresis machines were compared in a crossover study.
