Abstract
A new method of taking out of storage is offered for red cells cryopre served in the presence of low-concentration glycerin (15-20%) in relat ively low temperature (-38 +/- 2 degrees C) and in liquid nitrogen. Th e new approach implies washing of erythrocytes not immediately after d efreezing but just before the transfusion. The delay in defrozen eryth rocytes washing warrants their safety and functional capacity througho ut 3-week storage at + 4 degrees C after cryopreservation at -38 +/- 2 degrees C and within 2 weeks after freezing in liquid nitrogen.
