This project aims to establish the technical feasibility of a low-cost blood collection systemthat enables donated blood to be separated into red cells and plasma under gravity. Theseparation of whole blood into its component parts allows the donation to be shared amongstseveral patients based on volume required, and, more importantly, allows the most appropriatecomponent to be transfused to the patient. In particular, the use of concentrated red cells totreat anaemia is far preferable to the use of whole blood as most anaemia patients have anormal blood volume and the transfusion of excess fluid volume may be detrimental to health.Similarly, plasma transfusions may be given to bleeding mothers following childbirth.

该项目旨在建立一种低成本血液收集系统的技术可行性，该系统使捐献的血液能够在重力作用下分离成红细胞和血浆。将全血分离成其组成部分，可以根据所需的体积由几个患者共享献血，更重要的是，可以将最合适的成分输注给患者。特别是，使用浓缩红细胞治疗贫血远比使用全血更可取，因为大多数贫血患者的血容量不正常，输注过量的液体可能对健康有害。同样，可以为分娩后出血的母亲输注血浆。
