Peripheral blood cells are collected from healthy donors by direct collection or by using the Spectra Optia® Apheresis system. Cell-rich leukapheresis product is extracted using continuous flow centrifugal technology directly into the collection bag.
Purification, isolation, and cryopreservation of cells are performed on-site immediately following collection utilizing best-in-class instruments, biopreservation media, and standardized protocols. The rigorous operational controls mitigate any potential loss while ensuring viable and functional cells post-thaw, guaranteeing that customers receive consistent high-quality cells.
Platelets: In addition to their role in blood clotting, human blood platelets play a critical role in the innate immune system and can initiate and respond to inflammation and infection. Fresh platelets are collected using the Trima Accel® Automated blood collection system in an Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) anticoagulant blood bag, with the potential for a single unit (about 300 billion platelets) or double unit (about 600 billion platelets) collected per donor in one sitting.
