What is the program about?
We’re dedicated to making the most of the generous gifts blood donors give to meet the ever-increasing health needs of all Australians.
That’s why we do our best to collect the right amount of blood to meet the community’s clinical needs. As part of the process, some products are deemed unsuitable to transfuse to a patient or turn into plasma products. The reasons for these products not meeting specification can be varied, and as a result the contents of the bag will also vary compared to a clinical grade unit.
What products can Lifeblood offer?
We only have non-clinical materials available, including:
Tested samples
Fresh untested samples
Buffy coats
Whole blood
Red blood cells
Plasma
Platelets
Serum
