ABSTRACT Methods and containers for storing platelet cells are provided. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, an improved container for storing a unit of platelet cells at an acceptable level of viability is provided wherein the container is made of polymer material and the container meets the following requirement for the gas transmission rate: 85 ? GTR ? 180; wherein GTR= Image wherein GTR is in units of (nanomoles)/(min.-cm Hgco2); C is a unit conversion constant of 2.68 x 10-4 in units of (nanomoles-sec.)/(cc min.); Pco2 is the CO2 gas permeability constant for the container material in units of Image SA is the total surface area of the container in square centimeters; and FT is the thickness of the container material in centimeters. In accordance with the invention containers and methods are provided which optimize the storage of a particular number or number range of platelet cells, so that viability and storage time are maximized.
