STORAGE-STABLE CELLULAR WHOLE BLOOD COMPOSITION CONTAINING ELEVATED AMOUNTS OF D-DIMER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a cellular whole-blood D-dimer composition for use with diagnostic test procedures for D-dimer, and a method of its preparation. The composition comprises human erythrocytes and processed plasma to which D-dimer, and stabilizers, and optionally antimicrobial agents, are added and can be used as a standard and control for D-dimer testing.
