Public Health Service, Staten Island, New York An apparatus for collecting and dispensing sheep blood aseptically has been used at the Veneral Disease Research Laboratory for several years with satis­ factory results. The assembly as herein described allows the collection, filtration and dispensing of the blood from a single unit, thereby reducing the opportunities for bacterial contamination. Any suitable preservative may be employed with this apparatus. A simple and reliable method for preserving sheep cells with 3.8 per cent so­ dium citrate solution, for use in complement-fixation procedures, has been pre­ viously reported. Sheep blood preserved by this method, and collected, dis­ pensed and stored as described below remained sterile and satisfactory for use for a three-month period. EQUIPMEN T 1.
