General description

Plasma is straw yellow in color and is the liquid portion of blood. The major component of plasma is water with solids accounting to 9%.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Plasma comprises many proteins that regulate various biological functions including electrolyte balance, transport and defense. Infusion of plasma by therapeutic plasmapheresis is useful in treating illness. However, at the same time it triggers allergic reactions.

Other Notes

This product is prepared from pooled rat blood. It contains 3.8% trisodium citrate as an anticoagulant. It is tested for clotting, which indicates that the clotting factors in the product are active. However, it is not analyzed to determine whether other enzymes present are native or denatured. The resulting plasma is 0.45 microm filtered and lyophilized from the indicated volume.

Preparation Note

Whole blood collected with anticoagulants (9:1), pooled, and centrifuged. The resulting plasma is 0.45 μm filtered and lyophilized from the indicated volumes.
