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

Figure 2

Spectrophotometric absorption of hemoglobin in the 500–600 nm range, prior to (a) or after (b) deoxygenation (30 min, 6 cycles of 5 minutes each). The assays were performed directly on red blood cells within the plastic bag, as described in the paper. No significant scattering is observed.
