The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.
1) A method of spray drying a liquid plasma from one or more donors using a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying apparatus having a drying gas source providing a drying gas and a pressurized aerosol gas source providing a pressurized aerosol gas, a plasma source providing the plasma;
10) A method of spray drying a liquid plasma from one or more donors;
17) A method of storing spray dried plasma obtained from spray drying a liquid plasma from one or more donors;
