A blood component collection systemcomprises a centrifugal separatorcentrifuging blood into a plurality of components, first linefor feeding the blood to the centrifugal separator, a second linefor releasing the blood component from the centrifugal separator, a temporary reservoir bag' for temporarily reserving the platelet concentrate, a leukoreduction filterfor separating and reducing leukocyte from the platelet concentrate, and a platelet collection bagfor reserving the platelet concentrate having passed through the leukoreduction filter. The blood component collection systemis constructed to feed the platelet concentrate in the temporary reservoir bag′ to the platelet collection bagthrough the leukoreduction filter, and then, feed plasma and collect the platelet remaining in the leukoreduction filter(platelet concentrate from which leukocyte have been reduced) together with the plasma into the platelet collection bag
