The change in the level of (a) potassium, and (b) free Hb in the supernatant of RBCs samples during the initial 24 hours after conventional and centrifugation-free washing. Values shown are mean ± standard deviation (n = 7); all differences between the two washing methods, and between each washing method and unwashed sample are statistically significant (p <0.05). (c) The change in color of supernatant of a typical sample immediately following and 24 hours after conventional and centrifugation-free washing.
