Some Thermophysical Properties of Blood Components and Coolants for Frozen Blood Shipping Containers

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present the results of thermophysical properties testing of glycerolized red blood cells and Air Force selected coolants. These findings will be used in the development of a frozen blood shipping container which will be used within the Transportable Blood Transshipment Center to transport frozen blood units. Keywords: Frozen blood, Coolant, Shipping container, Blood banks, Department of Defense, Blood donor, Blood program.
