Blood Storage and Preservation: How to Store Blood Safely with Froilabo
Looking for reliable and safe blood storage solutions? Discover how Froilabo’s advanced ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers and blast freezers ensure blood sample preservation- protecting quality, safety, and lifespan.
Why Is Proper Blood Sample Storage Essential?
In the medical and research fields, blood specimen storage and preservation are critical to maintaining the viability and effectiveness of blood for transfusions, diagnostics, and long-term research. Without proper storage conditions, blood can deteriorate- putting your research outcomes or patient safety at risk.
Every blood donation triggers a precise chain of processing and storage steps. Immediately after blood sample collection, blood is separated into key components:
- Red blood cells
- Plasma
- Platelets
- White blood cells
Each of these key components has unique storage requirements which could range from refrigeration to cryopreservation at -80°C or below.
The Importance of the Cold Chain for Blood Samples
Maintaining the blood cold chain from donor collection to sample storage is vital. Any break in temperature control can lead to:
- Blood contamination
- Loss of cell viability
- Sample wastage
Froilabo’s cold storage solutions are engineered to uphold the integrity of this chain at every step.
Rapid Blood or Plasma Freezing with Froilabo Blast Freezers
Time is critical when it comes to freezing blood products. Froilabo’s Blast Freezers rapidly reduce the temperature of blood and plasma bags— minimising ice crystal formation and ensuring cell integrity. Using a blast freezer is the quickest and safest way of preparing samples for long term storage.
