Single Donor Human Red Blood Cells from Innovative Research are separated from a standard unit (approximately 450ml starting volume) of whole blood. The whole blood is centrifuged into layers, and the red blood cells are manually extracted (no chemical separators are used). The resulting RBC volume is approximately 250ml. These cells are not washed or resuspended. This product is custom-collected per order.
