Plasma Fractionation: Unlocking the Life-Saving Potential of Human Plasma
Plasma fractionation is a critical scientific process that has reshaped modern healthcare by turning donated human plasma into essential therapeutic products. Plasma itself makes up more than half of human blood and is rich in proteins that perform vital functions such as immunity, blood clotting, and maintaining fluid balance. Through fractionation, these proteins are carefully separated, purified, and transformed into life-saving medicines that support patients with a variety of chronic, genetic, and emergency medical conditions.
The concept of plasma fractionation dates back to the early 1940s when researchers discovered that blood plasma could be broken down into different components with therapeutic properties. Today, the process is far more advanced, built on a foundation of biotechnology, cold-ethanol separation techniques, and stringent quality controls. The core idea remains the same: isolate valuable proteins without damaging their biological activity. This delicate approach ensures the…
