Figure Lengend Snippet: a Hemolysis increased with increasing time of storage and decreasing temperature. b Data shows lactate levels normalized by fraction of unlysed red blood cells after 3, 7, and 10 weeks. Measured total lactate level was normalized by percent of unlysed RBCs. c Data shows TBARS levels after 3, 7, and 10 weeks. d Data shows TAS levels after 3, 7, and 10 weeks. Dashed lines represent the mean day 1 levels following 3x washing, overnight storage at +4 °C, and final 1x washing in E-Sol 5. Data represent mean ± standard deviation from 3 biological replicates ( N = 3) and 1-3 technical replicates for each biological replicate ( n = 3 for hemolysis, n = 1-3 for lactate, n = 2 for TBARS and TAS). Each biological replicate was from a pool of 3 donor samples. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was performed to evaluate significant differences between conditions: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001. Comparisons were shown across the three temperatures at each time point. See Supplementary Fig. for comparisons across the time points at each temperature.
