A section of a hospital or a special centre where blood given by donors is stored for use in transfusions.<\/p>\n
Unit or department, usually associated with a hospital or laboratory, that collects, processes, and stores blood for use in blood transfusions and other purposes.<\/p>\n
A department within a hospital or blood transfusion center in which blood collected from donors is stored prior to transfusion. Blood must be kept at a temperature of 4\u00b0C and may be used up to three weeks after collection.<\/p>\n
A facility for provision of whole blood and its components for transfusion. Its functions include recruitment of donors for procurement of blood, drawing blood, processing (grouping and typing and testing for safety), storage, and distribution. A pathologist or other physician, or another qualified scientist, is ordinarily in charge of a blood bank. Blood banks may be characterized as of several types, depending on their auspices.<\/p>\n
A department in which blood products are prepared, stored and tested before transfusion into patients.<\/p>\n
A place in which whole blood and certain derived components are processed, typed, and stored until needed for transfusion. Blood is mixed with adenine-supplemented citrate phosphate dextrose and is stored at 4\u00b0C (39\u00b0F). Heparin may be used as a preservative. Banked blood should be used as soon as possible because the longer it is stored, the fewer red blood cells survive in usable form. Ninety percent of the red cells survive up to 14 days of storage, but only 70% remain after 24 days.<\/p>\n
Within the realm of medical diagnostics, there exists a specialized laboratory dedicated to the analysis of blood types, identification of antibodies, and provision of transfusion-related services.<\/p>\n
