A method of disinfecting certain blood constituents (particularly the red cells, platelets and proteins) or disinfecting corneal and scleral tissues, makes these constituents safer for human transfusion or transplantation, while respectively maintaining their biologic or optical function. Various disinfectants, for instance a sterilizing solution, is prepared from, e.g., a commercially available disinfectant (such as LD<TM> of Alcide Corporation) containing lactic acid and sodium chlorite, an isotonic solution is used as a diluent instead of distilled water. The blood constituents or corneal or scleral tissue is exposed to the disinfectant for a time sufficient to inactivate or reduce the infectivity of disease agents. The isotonic environment prevents or deters hemolysis of the red blood cells or of the corneal or scleral epithelium or endothelium disruption of the platelets, or denaturation of the proteins. |
