Also
known as Blood Products Laboratory quarantine section.
All unsreened blood products are stored here and quarantined until
they are cleared. Quarantine fresh frozen plasma is boxed, weighed
and stored until screening is performed and thus stored for factionation
or for patient use. Quarantine platelets are also stored here and
kept in the agitator until screening is performed. All data is inputted
in computer database. In this Laboratory there are two -50 degrees
celcius alcohol baths where all plasma are immediately frozen after
preparation. This is the processing section. Initial unscreened
blood products are received here where they are weighed and centrifuged
in these cryofuges. |

There
are devices to lift the raw initial product to facilitate the leuco
filtering by natural gravity through specific filters. Presently
we have 100% leuco depleted red cells.
This
is where all quarantined products are stored. These dedicated freezers
are continuously monitored and are charted for record purposes.
Alarms are also present on each refrigerator.
When all screening & serological tests have been performed and
passed, all fresh frozen plasma is stored in this cold room at -40
degrees celcius as non quarantine. Chart recorders and digital display
gauges can easily be seen.
Boxed plasma is barcoded and labelled prior to being stored in the
cold room. |

The
centrifuged blood units are carefully placed in fully automated
separators, where products are automatically separated to their
basic components. Fresh frozen plasma, Buffy coat and platelets.
Several blood products are separated in
this laboratory. |
