Summary

Based on a high-yield cryopreservation protocol, red blood cells were frozen in the presence of hydroxyethyl starch and dried at three selected temperatures (-66, -75 and -93 deg C). All cells showed a continuous increase in hemolysis during the drying process, resulting in total hemolysis of the freeze-dried red blood cells. The results are discussed with respect to the state-of-the-art in red blood cell freeze-drying and compared to red blood cells which were stored at the respective temperatures without drying.
