Blood Products

Red blood cells (RBCs) are commonly used to treat anemia, blood loss from trauma or surgery, and other conditions affecting red blood cell count. Our fresh RBCs are supplied with several selection attributes allowing you to customize the products for improved patient outcomes.  

Our rare blood units are extended-matched for specialized transfusion needs. Rare units are maintained as frozen reserves and FDA-licensed products. Blood can be stored for up to 10 years but must be transfused within 24 hours of thawing. Frozen units can be shipped anywhere in the U.S., subject to prevailing regulations.

Platelets are critical for blood clotting and are often used in patients undergoing chemotherapy, those with severe bleeding, or individuals with platelet disorders. We provide a range of single-donor platelet products to meet diverse transfusion needs ensuring optimal patient care and outcome. All our platelet products are single-donor, leuko-reduced, stored under constant agitation at room temperature, and must be used within five to seven days of collection.

Plasma contains essential clotting factors and proteins used to treat patients with bleeding disorders, liver diseases, clotting factor deficiencies, severe burns, trauma and to shock patients. Our plasma products are fresh-frozen to preserve the clotting factors and can be stored for up to one year. 

For Further Manufacturing (FFM) plasma is available for use in producing therapeutic products like clotting factor concentrates, albumin, or immunoglobulins in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Our FFM plasma meets rigorous quality and safety standards to ensure the purity of the end products.

Product selection criteria: 

• Blood types: AB, A, B, O

Whole Blood for Research

Non-transfusable Whole Blood is also available for Research Use Only (RUO). 

Cryoprecipitate, or ‘cryo’, is a plasma component that is rich in clotting factors, including fibrinogen, factor VIII, and von Willebrand factor. It is used to control bleeding in patients with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and other conditions where blood clotting is impaired.  Our cryoprecipitate vials are prepared from either single donor or pooled donor plasma. Cryo is prepared by freezing and then slowly thawing plasma, and it can be stored for up to one year​. 

Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell important for fighting infections, especially in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Granulocyte transfusions are used in cases of severe infections unresponsive to antibiotics, particularly in patients with neutropenia.  Granulocyte products are collected through apheresis.  

Key considerations for ordering granulocytes:

• Product should be ordered through your own blood bank
• Please allow time for delivery as granulocytes require special donor recruitment and stimulation prior to collection
• Granulocytes expire within 24 hours of collection so these should be transfused upon receipt
