A method and a platelet concentrate preservation device for platelet concentrate storage. A method includes at least partially saturating platelet concentrate xenon, and storing the platelet concentrate at less than 15℃ in a generally horizontal position. A device can be used to store blood, blood products, or combinations thereof that may or may not be under pressure. The device includes a chamber having a cavity. The chamber includes first and second chamber parts that form the cavity when releasably connected together. The cavity is designed to receive at least one bag that contains the blood, blood products, or combinations thereof. The device also includes a high-strength casing and includes a chamber cavity. The high-strength casing includes first and second casing parts that form the chamber cavity when releasably connected together. The chamber cavity is designed to receive the chamber.本發明提供一種儲存血小板濃縮物之方法及血小板濃縮物保存裝置。方法包括用氙氣使血小板濃縮物至少部分飽和,及將血小板濃縮物在小於15℃下以一般水平位置儲存。裝置可用於儲存可處於或可不處於壓力下的血液、血液產品或其組合。裝置包括具有空腔之腔室。腔室包括當可釋放性連接在一起時形成空腔的第一及第二腔室零件。該空腔係經設計成可容納至少一個含有血液、血液產品或其組合的袋。該裝置亦包括高強度外殼及包括腔室空腔。該高強度外殼包括可釋放性連接在一起時形成腔室空腔的第一及第二外殼零件。該腔室空腔係經設計成可容納腔室。10‧‧‧氣密密封室11‧‧‧零件12‧‧‧零件14‧‧‧凹部17‧‧‧凹槽18‧‧‧密封墊圈21‧‧‧孔穴/開孔22‧‧‧連接桿23‧‧‧通道30‧‧‧高強度外殼31‧‧‧零件32‧‧‧零件33‧‧‧強化肋片34‧‧‧袋囊/開孔35‧‧‧凸緣36‧‧‧凸緣37‧‧‧扭轉鎖定器38‧‧‧固定卡39‧‧‧棒條40‧‧‧配件41‧‧‧匹配切口/端到端相連入口通道
