    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Cryobiology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Effective preservation of red blood cells is crucial for transfusion medicine.
    • Current methods may have limitations in terms of duration or complexity.
    • Cryopreservation offers potential for long-term storage but requires careful optimization.

    Purpose:

    • To describe and evaluate a simple method for red blood cell preservation by freezing at -25°C.
    • To assess the in vitro quality of erythrocytes after glycerolization, freezing, thawing, and washing.

    Summary:

    • Red blood cells were glycerolized to 28% (W/V) in polyvinyl chloride bags, concentrated, and frozen at -25°C.
    • Post-thaw washing was performed using sodium chloride solutions with the IBM Blood Processor 2991.
    • Evaluated parameters included hemoglobin levels, leukocytes, platelets, 2,3-DPG, and ATP, showing good preservation for up to 4 months.

    Impact:

    • This simple cryopreservation technique demonstrates effective preservation of red blood cell quality for extended periods.
    • The method's applicability in any blood center suggests a potential improvement in blood banking practices.
    • Further research could explore longer storage durations and clinical outcomes.
