Spray dried human plasma

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.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for spray drying pooled plasma, comprising:
 a plasma collection device and pooling the collected plasma;   at least one of a fluid processing and washing device, an ultraviolet device, or a fluid filter for cleaning the pooled plasma; and   a spray drying apparatus for drying the cleaned pooled plasma, including an attachment, comprising:
 a plasma inlet port for providing sterile communication to a plasma source; 
 a spray gas inlet port for providing removable sterile communication to a pressurized gas source; 
 at least one drying gas inlet port for providing removable sterile communication to a drying gas source; 
 a spray dry nozzle in fluid communication with the plasma and spray gas inlets; 
 a drying chamber in fluid communication with the attached spray nozzle and drying gas inlet to receive a spray of plasma for drying; 
 a particle collection device configured to collect spray dried plasma from an outlet of the drying chamber; and 
 a collection device gas outlet port in sterile fluid communication with the particle collection device; 
 wherein the spray nozzle, drying chamber, and collection device define a sterile isolated interior volume.
