Quentin Brebant: What Defines a High-Quality Red Blood Cell Concentrate?
Quentin Brebant, Director of Research and Development at Macropharma, shared Macropharma’s post on LinkedIn:
“I’m very proud to have contributed to this study alongside EFS, INSERM and Anaïs.
Together, let’s help define the future of blood processing.”
Macropharma shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What defines a high-quality red blood cell concentrate?
A newly published study in Vox Sanguinis brings valuable insights into two key factors:
- How haematocrit is measured
- How additive solutions influence red blood cell preservation during storage
The results demonstrate that PAGGSM better preserves red blood cell morphology and reduces storage-induced micro-erythrocytes compared with SAGM.
For us, this publication is also a reminder that innovation in transfusion medicine is about the entire process, not just a single product.
From blood collection and processing to storage and quality control, every step matters.”
