'''Cryoprecipitate''' is produced from FFP that has been thawed slowly and then centrifuged at 5000RPM for 5mins at 4oC. The plasma is then removed leaving a small amount of cryo. It contains Von Willebrands Factor, Factor VIII and XII, fibrinogen, and fibronectin. It is the blood product of choice in the treatment of Von Willebrands disease, Haemophilia A and hypofibrinogenaemia. Cryoprecipitate can be stored for one year after collection.
