Summary

Using a self-designed low-temperature freeze-drying device, human red blood cells were freeze-dried at selected shelf temperatures between -5 and -65 deg C. After rehydration of the samples, the highest recovery rate (higher than 15%) was measured at a shelf temperature of -35%. Both increased and decreased shelf temperatures led to a significant reduction in recovery. To interpret this effect, a model based on the superposition of two contrary damaging mechanisms is suggested.
