Abstract:
The preparation of labile blood products in a blood bank is in permanent technological progress. Many operations, such as blood centrifugation, components separation, etc. are now performed by automated devices. A new generation of equipments is able to prepare blood products by reducing the number of manual operations. Therefore, buffy-coat platelet concentrate preparation and whole blood preparation can be prepared by these automated systems. Consequently, this directly impacts working conditions of employees, quality of blood products and process management.
