viability

Could someone please give me an explanation as to why CD34 cell
viability would be lower than normal on a particular patient's apheresis
collection? Our FLOW unit provides a viability based upon PI staining
for each CD34 it runs for our BMT transplant program, and they seldom
are below 95%, as they are always run immediately upon delivery to the
FLOW lab. Then, a patient came along with 70% viability one day on his
apheresis collection and 84% the following day. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Cheryl Hardy
