SEM erythrocyte shape classification.
| Storage day | Discocyte (%) | Reversibly* changed RBC (%) (echinocyte and stomatocyte shapes) | Irreversibly* changed RBC (%) (spheroechinocyte, spherostomatocyte, spherocyte, ovalocyte, and degenerated shapes) |
| 0 | 76.5 + 3.1 | 19.2 ± 5.7 | 4.3 ± 2.6 | 42 control | 20.6 ± 2.5 | 43.2 ± 3.8 | 36.2 ± 2.9 | 42 deoxygenated | 32.1 ± 1.9 | 45.4 ± 2.2 | 22.5 ± 3.1 |

Reversible and irreversible changes were classified based on classification criteria, as previously reported by D'Alessandro et al. [9].
