Red Blood Cells

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are the most vital component of human blood. They carry oxygen from the lungs to every part of the body and remove carbon dioxide in return. At Lions Blood Center, we ensure that every unit of RBCs collected, tested, and stored meets the highest standards of safety and quality. Properly preserved red cells can make a life-saving difference for patients suffering from severe anemia, blood loss, or major surgeries.

RBC transfusions are often required for patients who have lost blood due to accidents, childbirth, or surgeries, as well as for individuals with conditions like thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, or cancer. Lions Blood Center ensures a steady and safe supply of red blood cells through careful screening, compatibility testing, and temperature-controlled storage. Every donation helps restore strength, vitality, and life to those in urgent need.

At Lions Blood Center, red blood cells are stored at a temperature between 2°C and 6°C in specially designed blood bank refrigerators. This ensures that they remain viable for up to 35 to 42 days, depending on the preservative solution used. Continuous temperature monitoring and quality checks guarantee that every unit of red blood cells remains safe, potent, and ready for transfusion at any time.

Your blood donation is more than a simple act — it’s a gift of oxygen and life. The Lions Blood Center uses advanced processing to separate and preserve red blood cells efficiently. By donating blood, you’re directly helping patients regain their energy and recover faster. Together, we can ensure that no life is lost due to the shortage of red blood cells.
