Q

What are three methods for determining that adequacy of glycerol removal from thawed red blood cells

A
  1. Hue check-comparing the color of the final wash with a color comparator
  2. Hand held refractometer-small amount of supernatant is transferred to a measuring prism and held against a light source; the refraction value should be less than 30 to ensure that the glycerol level is <1%.
  3. Osmolality-a small amount of supernatant is transferred to an osmometer curette; the value should not exceed 400mOsm/Kg H20 to ensure the glycerol level is <1%.
