Thermally stable freeze-dried packed red blood cells
Blood product / biologics preservationHuman packed red blood cells stabilized by ultrasonic-mediated intracellular delivery of trehalose and then freeze-dried, producing a powder that stores without refrigeration and is rehydrated at the point of care for transfusion.
- Patented ultrasonic process for intracellular trehalose loading
- No refrigeration required for storage or transport
- Extended shelf life versus weeks for conventional cold-stored blood
- Closed-system rehydration at the point of care
