Stabilization of Lipid Membranes through Partitioning of the Blood Bag Plasticizer Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)
Abstract
The safe storage of blood is of fundamental importance to health care systems all over the world. Currently, plastic bags are used for the collection and storage of donated blood and are typically made of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plasticized with di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP).
