An Efficient Apparatus for Rapid Deoxygenation of Erythrocyte Concentrates for Alternative Banking Strategies

Figure 3

Haemolysis levels in control (left columns) red blood cells and red blood cells after deoxygenation (right columns) at day 0 (white columns) or after 42 days (black columns) of refrigerated liquid storage. At day 0, deoxygenated red blood cells do not show any significantly increased haemolysis. On the other hand, haemolysis is lower in deoxygenated red blood cells than in controls after 42 days of storage.
