Abstract
The technology relates to spray dried plasma and methods of making the same. The method includes providing plasma to a spray drying apparatus, spray drying the plasma, at the spray drying apparatus, to form physiologically active plasma powder, the spray drying apparatus configured utilizing one or more parameters, and storing the physiologically active plasma powder.
Claims17
A spray drying apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a) a pump device configured to transport plasma from a plasma storage device at a pump rate;
- b) a heated air stream device configured to deliver an air stream at an inlet temperature;
- c) a gas supply device configured to supply a gas flow at a flow rate;
- d) a spray nozzle configured to spray the plasma into a spray chamber utilizing the gas flow and the air stream;
- and
- e) a particle collection device configured to collect the sprayed plasma;
- wherein when in use the spray drying apparatus forms physiologically-active plasma powder.

A spray-drying apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a pump device configured to transport hydrated plasma from a plasma storage device;
- a heated air stream device configured to deliver a heated air stream;
- a gas supply device configured to supply a gas flow;
- a spray nozzle configured to spray the plasma into a spray chamber utilizing the gas flow and the air stream to form a spray dried plasma;
- and
- a particle collection device configured to collect the spray dried plasma;
- wherein when hydrated the hydrated previously spray dried plasma has clotting factors levels of concentration and activity that are essentially the same as said hydrated plasma.
4 more elements
A method for spray-drying plasma, the method comprising:
- a) providing, from a gas supply to a spray nozzle, a gas flow;
- b) providing, from a dehumidifier to the spray nozzle, a heated air stream at an inlet temperature;
- c) providing, from a pump device to the spray nozzle, plasma at a pump setting;
- d) spraying, at the spray nozzle, the gas flow, the heated air stream, and the plasma into a spray chamber to form a physiologically-active plasma powder, the heated air stream enabling transfer of moisture from the plasma to the heated air stream.
