9.6 RBC freezing Flashcards
RBC freezing is a long term storage for how many years?
10
When RBC is thawed and washed, what is the expiration ?
24 hours
The main purpose of this is to prevent lysis of red cells during freezing?
Cryoprotective agent
2 types of cryoprotective agents
Penetrating and nonpenetrating agent
Type of cyroprotective agent that is a small molecules that cross to the cell membrane into the cytoplasm
Penetrating agent
Example of penetrating agent?
Glycerol
Type of cyroprotective agent that that is a large molecules that do not enter the cell instead, forms a shell around it
Non penetrating agent
Example of nonpenetrating agent?
Hydroxyethyl starch
Dimethylsulfoxide
