Abstract
The storage of blood and the prevention of coagulation are effected by diluting freshly drawn blood with either isotonic saline or isotonic saline including preservatives and subtherapeutic amounts of heparin. The present method of storing blood is especially useful for autotransfusion and storage of blood for subsequent fractionation or analysis of aliquots thereof.
