Application

Citrate-phosphate-dextrose solution has been used as an anti-coagulant in bovine blood. It has also been used in the storage of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled erythrocytes. Citrate-phosphate-dextrose solution is suitable for erythrocyte survival studies and whole blood storage.

General description

Citrate-phosphate-dextrose solution (CPD) is an anticoagulant solution. It has 15% less citrate ion over citrate-phosphate-dextrose solution with adenine (ACD) and provides improved isotonicity, oxygen release function and posttransfusion viability for red blood cells.
