Bacteriological sterility of washed deglycerolized red blood cells after 72 hours storage. 1978

J H Radcliffe, and M A Denham, and C Gaydos, and M B Simpson

Samples of reconstituted frozen red blood cells, maintained at 4 C for 72 hours prior to culture, revealed a bacterial contamination rate of less than 0.2 per cent, suggesting that the present shelf life of 24 hours may be safely extended to 72 hours.
