Raman spectroscopy of stored red blood cell concentrate within sealed transfusion blood bags
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The standard practice in blood banks worldwide involves storage of red blood cells (RBCs) in plastic bags until they are needed for transfusion. During storage, the cells gradually degrade in functionality, a condition described as RBC storage lesion. Standard analytical techniques cannot assess the blood quality without breaching the sterility of the transfusion bag. In this study, we employed a commercially available spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) system using a custom designed protocol to non-invasively explore the biochemical changes in RBC concentrate of healthy donors over a storage period of approximately 42 days in standard transfusion bags, under standard storage conditions. The results reveal an increase in the oxygenation state of haemoglobin over the storage period for all donors, but different profiles for each donor. This study demonstrates the feasibility of acquiring consistent biochemical information relevant to the quality of stored blood, in situ through sealed blood transfusion bags using a commercially available instrument.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
