Rapid identification of bacterially contaminated platelets using reagent strips: glucose and pH analysis as markers of bacterial metabolism

BACKGROUND: One in every 1000 units of platelets is bacterially contaminated, which puts patients at risk for transfusion‐associated sepsis and death. However, there is currently no screening test in place to detect contaminated units. The use of commercially available multiple‐reagent urine dipsticks for this purpose was evaluated.
