Size and shape of RBCs stored in SAGM or AS-1 additive solutions. RBC mean cell volume (MCV) was calculated by an automated hematology analyzer (A). The change in arbitrary size of the RBCs during storage was measured by flow cytometric forward light scatter (FSC) (B); and the change in unevenness of the RBC surface membrane during storage was measured by flow cytometric side scatter (SSC) (C). SAGM (closed symbol); AS-1 (open symbol). * Significant difference (p < 0.02) between SAGM RBCs and AS-1 RBCs, by paired t-test. # Significant change (p < 0.001) across storage period, by RM-ANOVA. Results are mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 6 pairs).
