Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9738578A1] Blood plasma is preserved by drying to an amorphous state, with a glass transition temperature of at least 15 DEG C. The glass transition temperature of dried plasma is higher than would be predicted. Consequently, although a carrier material may be mixed with the plasma and included in the dried glassy composition, the weight of plasma solids can exceed the weight of any carrier material. Because admixed carrier can be absent or in low amount, the dried composition can be a unit dose requiring only rehydration prior to transfusion.
