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 power, the spray drying apparatus configured utilizing one or more parameters, and storing the physiologically active plasma powder.

1 . A method for spray drying plasma, the method comprising:
 providing plasma to a spray drying apparatus;   spray drying the plasma, at the spray drying apparatus, to form physiologically active plasma powder; and   storing the physiologically active plasma powder.   
     
     
         2 - 39 . (canceled) 
     
     
         40 . A product comprising:
 a physiologically active dried plasma in the form of a powder.   
     
     
         41 - 61 . (canceled) 
     
     
         62 . An apparatus for spray drying plasma comprising:
 a plasma source;   a pressurized spray gas source;   a drying gas source;   a spray dry nozzle in sterile fluid communication with the plasma and spray gas sources;   a drying chamber in sterile fluid communication with the spray dry nozzle and the drying gas source to receive a spray of plasma from the nozzle 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 fluid communication with the collection device, the gas outlet port comprising a sterile outlet port;   wherein the spray nozzle, drying chamber, and collection device define a sterile isolated interior volume.   
     
     
         63 - 72 . (canceled) 
     
     
         73 . An attachment for a plasma spray drying apparatus comprising:
 a plasma inlet port for sterile attachment to a plasma source;   a spray gas inlet port for removable sterile attachment to a pressurized gas source;   at least one drying gas inlet port for removable sterile attachment 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 collection device;   wherein the spray nozzle, drying chamber, and collection device define a sterile isolated interior volume.
