Alsever's solution is a saline-based liquid added to freshly collected blood to prevent coagulation and preserve the blood cells until needed. After adding Alsever's solution to the blood (1:1 volume ratio), the mix can be put at 4 degrees Centrigrade (refrigerator) for up to 10 weeks. I believe the ingredients are glucose (dextrose), sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and citric acid.
