Plasma Collection Containers

PLASMA COLLECTION CONTAINERS

Plasma collection containers are used to collect and store plasmapheresis plasma until it is processed further by plasma fractionation plants. We sell 1000ml HDPE bottles and PVC bags as collection containers. For the return of sodium chloride, they may be fitted with a spike or Luer-lock. The Greiner sampling adapter for sampling right after a donation is already mounted.

Round Bottle

A self-sealing filter provides for the required ventilation during the filling process, thus preventing a discharge of plasma during sampling. The patented innovative screw cap offers optimum protection for the welded-off tube ends that are highly sensitive after freezing. When the cap is turned the tube is pulled inward, so it can not be touched mechanically.

Rectangular Bottle

The rectangular bottle that also has a self-sealing filter and a screw cap offers two additional advantages: Freezing times are reduced by approx. 50% because of the reduced cross-section of the bottle and required storage capacities are reduced by 15-20%.

Bags

Our 1000ml plasma collection bags are made of a specially extruded, highly resilient PVC tubular foil. The inner surface of the tube is calendered directly after the extrusion process. This thermally roughened surface keeps the inner walls from sticking together, thus ensuring a smooth filling during the application. The use of a tubular foil offers two additional essential advantages: A tubular foil has no side seams – a risk of leakage due to the welding process is thus reduced to a minimum. This also reduces particle contamination during the manufacturing of the bags.
