Red Cell Support Solution (RCSS)
Many laboratories require to prepare their red cell panels (ABO, 3 cell screen and identification) on a daily basis. The presence of sodium azide will ensure that little or no bacterial contamination will occur but will in itself bring about the death of the cell within a few days and such panels must be replaced daily.
This can be a tiresome task but using Inverclyde RCSS it is possible to wash red cells from Alsevers solution, re-suspend them in RCSS and they can be stored and used for a period of at least 4 weeks.
During the storage period, red cell antigen integrity will not be compromised and the added antibiotics will help ensure that microbial growth will not be a problem.
The reagent contains buffering salts, antibiotics and essential sugars to create a suitable solution for red cell storage. Red cells suspended in RCSS can be used with slide, tube and gel techniques.
