Blood / Plasma Storage
Cold storage for blood and plasma involves the use of specialized refrigeration equipment to maintain the temperature of the specimens at a constant and controlled level.

| Blood/Plasma Storage |
- Necessary to ensure the preservation of the biological integrity of the blood
- Plasma, as well as to prevent contamination
- Degradation over time
The storage temperature for blood 1°C to 4°C and plasma typically ranges from -36°C to -40°C, with some variations depending on the specific requirements of the particular specimen.
The use of advanced refrigeration technology, such as temperature monitoring and alarm systems, is essential to maintain the desired storage conditions and ensure the safety and quality of the specimens.
Additionally, proper handling and storage procedures, such as careful labeling, segregation of specimens, and routine maintenance and calibration of equipment, are critical to prevent errors and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the stored specimens.
