  2. Donation Why do we approach NGO trustees for the blood?. In many cases, why don't we approach the medical professional blood bank in Chennai? Procedures Involved In Preservation of Blood Journey: Make an appointment with the blood bank. Medical history and mini-physical examinations have to be completed. For a total blood donation, approximately 1 liter of blood is collected; several small blood test tubes are also collected for analysis. Your donation, test tubes, and donor record are tagged with a barcode ID. Your donation is kept on ice before being transported to a center.

  3. Processing At the processing center, donor information is scanned into a computerized database. The majority of total blood donations are spun into centrifuges to separate them into transferable components: red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Plasma can be converted into components like cryoprecipitate, which helps control the risk of bleeding by helping the blood clot.

  4. Testing Parallel to stage 2, a dozen tests are conducted to determine blood groups and infectious diseases. Test results are submitted electronically to the treatment center within 24 hours. If a test result is positive, blood will be discarded and you will be notified ( test results are confidential and only shared with the donor, it may be required by law).

  5. Storage Once test results are received, units suitable for transfusion are labeled and stored. Red blood cells are stored in fridges at 6 degrees celsius for up to 42 days. Platelets are stored at room temperature in shakers for a maximum of five days. Plasma are frozen and kept in the freezer for up to 1 year.

  6. Distribution Blood is delivered to hospitals 24/7. Hospitals generally keep certain blood units on their shelves but may request more at any time, such as in a large-scale emergency. You may find the diagnostic labs in Chennai to take the blood test before giving it.
