blood component separation
Blood component separation is a process where donated blood is divided into its different parts—such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and white blood cells—using a machine called a centrifuge. This is done to make the blood more useful and efficient, allowing each component to be transfused to patients who need specific parts, like red cells for anemia or plasma for clotting issues. Separating blood ensures optimal use of each donation, helps treat various medical conditions, and maximizes resources while maintaining safety and effectiveness.
