Preparation and evaluation of a 7-parameter intralaboratory control blood of 4-month stability.
Sterile, fresh concentrates of human red blood cells suspended in a specially designed sterile preservation medium have a stability of all six red blood cell parameters of over four months as measured in the Coulter Model S-Plus II. Substitution under sterile conditions of the unstable white blood cells for (commercially available) fixed (human) red blood cells is a well-established method to obtain simulated white blood cell suspensions of long-term stability.
