Abstract

A simplified method for automated red blood cell processing is described. The method uses sterile, disposable plastic centrifuge bowls with attached tubing and reagent solutions. It can be used for the separation of red blood cells and plasma and the glycerolization and deglycerolization of red blood cells for storage in the frozen state. Data is presented on operational performance of the equipment and on red blood cell yields and post‐thaw transfusion survival.
