Blood fractionation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blood fractionation is the process of fractionating the blood - that is, of separating it into its component parts: erythrocytes (or "red blood cells"), blood plasma, and platelets. The first practical large-scale method of blood fractionation was developed by Edwin J. Cohn during the Second World War. Also known as plasma fractionation.
