Abstract

Bloods collected in ACD and CPD were frozen by the Blood Research Institute Glycerol method using the Latham Processor. Washed, thawed red blood cells were suspended in autologous plasma with and without added adenine and stored at 4 C. Post‐transfusion survival studies by 125I, 51Cr methods had values of 70 per cent or better for seven and 14 days for ACD and CPD bloods, and 14 and 21 days for ACD‐adenine and CPD‐adenine bloods, respectively. Integration of a frozen blood program in conventional blood banks is discussed.
