Plasma fractionation

Plasma fractionation is a process that separates the various components of blood plasma—the clear, liquid part of blood—to produce specialized proteins used in medical treatments. Blood is collected from donors, and through techniques like centrifugation and filtration, the plasma is divided into components such as clotting factors, immunoglobulins, and albumin. These proteins are purified and then packaged for use in therapies for conditions like bleeding disorders, immune deficiencies, and burns. This process allows for the effective and safe extraction of vital proteins, making plasma a valuable resource for lifesaving treatments.
