Rabbit Red Blood Cells (50%) is a laboratory biological blood product used in microbiology and cell-culture-related workflows where blood-derived components are specified.

Blood products are commonly used to prepare enriched culture media (e.g., blood agar) or lysed-blood media (e.g., chocolate agar), and in assays that require red blood cells or blood-derived factors. Select anticoagulated, defibrinated, or lysed formats based on whether intact cells, reduced clotting, or released intracellular factors are required.

To maintain performance, keep cold, mix gently to re-suspend, and avoid harsh agitation. Freezing can damage intact cells; only freeze if your intended application tolerates cell lysis.

Technical Specifications:

Applications:

- Hemagglutination/hemolysis-related assays and method development (optimize per protocol)

- Standardized RBC matrix for research and QC workflows

Operating Instructions:

1. Keep refrigerated during handling; do not leave at room temperature longer than necessary.

2. Mix gently before use to re-suspend; avoid vigorous shaking/foaming.

3. Use aseptic technique when preparing media or aliquots.

4. Avoid freezing if intact cells are required; freeze only if your intended use tolerates lysis.

Safety Notes:

- For laboratory research use; not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

- Treat as potentially infectious biological material; follow biosafety/PPE requirements and local regulations.

Ideal for: Microbiology media preparation, QC labs, assay development, research laboratories
