Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a typical plasticizer used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blood containers, is eluted from the blood containers and exerts protective effects on red blood cells. However, a concern for detrimental effects of DEHP on human health has led to the development of potential DEHP substitutes. Here, we compared the red blood cell preservation ability of two types of non-DEHP blood containers with safe alternative plasticizers to that of DEHP blood containers. Red cell concentrates in mannitol-adenine-phosphate solution (
MAP
/RCC) were stored for 6 weeks in PVC blood bags containing DEHP, di-isononyl-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) and di (2-ethylhexyl) 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylate (DOTH), or
4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid
dinonyl ester (DL9TH) and DOTH. There was no significant difference in the total amount of plasticizer eluted into
MAP
/RCC (till 3 weeks from the beginning of the experiment), hemolysis of
MAP
/RCC, and osmotic fragility of
MAP
/RCC between the non-DEHP blood containers and DEHP blood containers. Hematological and blood chemical indices of
MAP
/RCC in all containers were nearly the same. Thus, DOTH/DINCH and DOTH/DL9TH blood containers demonstrate the same quality of
MAP
/RCC storing as the DEHP blood containers. Since DOTH, DINCH, and DL9TH were reported to be safe, DOTH/DINCH and DOTH/DL9TH blood containers are promising candidate substitutes for DEHP blood containers.
