Various procedures can be undertaken to produce different blood products from whole blood.
Firstly fresh whole blood once collected can be refrigeratedat 2-6<sup>o</sup>C and become '''stored whole blood''' which can be used for up to 4 weeks.
If fresh whole blood undergoes slow centrifugation (1100tr/min for 10 mins at 22<sup>o</sup>C) then Platelet rich plasma is produced. This can be stored for 3 days at an ambient temperature.
