Abstract :
Small samples of frozen human packed red blood cells (RBCs) were thawed by microwave heating (2450 MHz) and by water bath heating. The functional integrity of the cells was measured before and after thaw, and over a 6-hour period after wash. Minor differences between microwave and water thawed RBCs were observed.
