Apheresis is a process used in blood banking to separate a donor's blood into its component parts. It is used to collect specific components of the blood, such as platelets, plasma, or red blood cells, while returning the remainder of the blood to the donor. Apheresis is also used to remove unwanted components from the blood, such as antibodies or white blood cells. This process is used to treat a variety of conditions, including autoimmune diseases, hemoglobinopathies, and thrombotic disorders.
Apheresis is a growing market within the blood banking industry, with a variety of companies offering products and services. These include Haemonetics Corporation, Fresenius Kabi, Terumo BCT, Asahi Kasei Medical, Kawasumi Laboratories, and Fenwal. Show Less Read more
