Products
Recovered frozen plasma (8-hour, 24-hour, 72-hour, cryo-reduced)
Frozen recovered plasma offerings in multiple hold-times and cryo-reduced formats intended for plasma fractionation and in vitro diagnostic manufacturing.
Cord blood products (cord whole blood, cord red cells, cord plasma)
Cord blood-derived products collected from hospital donations (not for cord banking) and processed to separate red cells and plasma; units can be screened for viral markers and NAT on request.
Red blood cells (in-date and expired) and whole blood units
Supply of in-date and expired red blood cell units and whole blood units sourced from hospital blood banks and regional centers for use in manufacturing and control production.
Source leukocytes / buffy coats
Supply of buffy coats and source leukocytes collected from community blood centers for use in diagnostic control manufacture or research.
Plasma fractionation pastes (Fraction I+III, IV, V)
Intermediates from plasma fractionation processes provided as Fraction I+III paste, Fraction IV paste, and Fraction V paste for downstream therapeutic or manufacturing use.
Plasma derivatives (human serum albumin, gamma globulin)
Liquid and lyophilized human serum albumin and lyophilized gamma globulin available for therapeutic or diagnostic manufacture.
