High Quality Plasma

The plasma is collected by automated plasmapheresis or by separation from whole blood donations in compliance with GMP requirements.

The plasma is rapidly frozen to adequately preserve the labile proteins. The cold chain is maintained and monitored during storage and transport of plasma to ensure constant temperature conditions at -20°C or below.

Each donation is tested for markers of infectious diseases (i.e. HIV, HBV, HCV). The test results must be negative.
