Abstract:
Lyophilized storage of red blood cells(RBC) may provide a useful storage alternative Both shelf life and transportation logistics can be improved over those for existing refrigerated or frozen storage. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of lyophilization process on mean RBC recovery. Blood was drawn from healthy adult having no history of either hemoglobinophathy or abnormal RBC metabolism. Blood stored in plastic transfer bags were lyophilized for 16 hours, then it was rehydrated . In group 1, samples were stored at 4℃ for 6 hours, while in group 2 were stored at 4℃ for 5 hours, then 25℃ for 1 hour. The mean RBCs recovery in group 2 was higher than group 1(81 4?7 6% vs 62?10 2%,respectively). Samples were lyophilized using buffer containing different concentrations of glucose, and studies showed that there was no significant difference in mean RBCs recovery between samples in lyophilization buffer containing high and medium concentration of glucose, but low concentration of glucose in buffer resulted in lower mean RBCs recovery. The mean RBCs recovery was 30% in low concentration of glucose buffer and 45 1%, 47 2% in medium and high concentrations of glucose buffer, respectively. We also observed effects of different rehydration buffer with different osmotic pressure, and it showed that high osmotic pressure buffer resulted in higher mean RBCs recovery than iso-osmotic buffer. There was little change in the cell size and cell volume. The results presented in this report clearly demonstrate that human RBCs can be successfully lyophilized. Lyophilization buffer and rehydration buffer may influence the mean RBCs recovery.
