I have multiple SOPs for preparing bulk RBC stroma, but they all require digitonin.  Does anyone have a method that does not involve carcinogens?

Thanks,

Digitonin is the only thing I have heard of as well.

I haven't seen data or an SDS for Digitonin indicating it is a carcinogen.  It is a detergent not drug. It's not related to digitoxin.  We have used it for years for rbc stroma.  Please link a reference to Digitonin as a carcinogen.  We would need to update our SDS file if this data is reported by a specific manufacturer.  Thanks
