Products
| Sanquin prepares short shelf-life blood products and stable blood products. The blood banks use donor blood to prepare the short shelf-life blood products (blood products): erythrocytes, thrombocytes and quarantine plasma. Stable blood products (also called plasma products) are prepared in the production facilities in Amsterdam. The plasma products are obtained from clustered pools of individual blood or blood plasma (plasmaphaeresis) donations. Four types of plasma products are prepared using various isolation techniques: coagulation factors, protease inhibitors, immunoglobulin and albumin. Sanquin´s Reagents Department supports hospitals, laboratories and research institutes in the area of biomedical investigations, experimental and clinical immunology, and transfusion medicine. This department produces and distributes blood group reagents and immune reagents throughout the world.  |
