Bacterial proliferation is comparable in red blood cell concentrates stored in DEHT/PAGGSM and DEHP/SAGM containers. [PDF]

Vox Sang
The European Union's ban on the use of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in medical devices will take effect in 2030. DEHP is a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride blood bags that helps stabilize the red blood cell membrane during hypothermic red blood cell concentrate (RBCC) storage.

Preliminary study of all-solid-state batteries: Evaluation of blast formation during the thermal runaway [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Summary: All-solid-state batteries have been developed to increase energy density by replacing the lithiated graphite negative electrode by a lithium metal foil and to increase safety by removing the organic compounds. However, the safety issues of these

In vitro quality of whole blood-derived red cell concentrates collected, processed and stored in a blood bag set plasticized with di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Background and Objectives Due to toxicity concerns, di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)—the most used plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) whole blood (WB) collection and processing bag sets—will be effectively prohibited in medical devices in Europe from 2030. Removal of DEHP will primarily impact the in vitro quality of red blood cell (RBC)
