Blood is a complex substance made up of many components. Each component has an important function, with corresponding characteristics and requirements for storage and handling. BCA Blood Centers can provide blood components to fit any need.

Blood Products components are routinely manufactured to meet the following specifications for clinical transfusion. Modifications in production, volume, storage, and age can be made to produce the ideal product for further manufacture or research and development:

Platelets, a vital component of blood, are primarily responsible for cessation of bleeding by forming blood clots.

Plasma is what remains when cellular components are removed from anti-coagulated blood. Not only is plasma the liquid conduit for carrying cells and oxygen to every other cell in the body, it is rich in nutrients and proteins necessary to those cells.
