    What makes blood plasma such a valuable product?

    SYNTEGON_IC_ARROW_TREND_GRN_FRAME
    Rising global demand

    Globally rising demand for plasma derivatives through an increase in immune diseases, coagulation disorders, and genetic defects.

    SYNTEGON_IC_DROP_GRN_FRAME
    Endogenous

    Plasma is largely generated by the body itself and is difficult to produce chemically or biopharmaceutically.

    Donor shortage

    Up to 1,000 donations are required to treat one patient for one year.

    SYNTEGON_IC_CLOCK_GRN_FRAME
    Temporal aspects

    Time-consuming: production of plasma derivatives takes between 7 and 12 months.

    Financial aspects

    Collecting plasma is time-consuming and expensive.

    Blood plasma processing

    Blood plasma processing

    Human blood is a vital resource in many respects. It plays a crucial role not only in transfusions, but also as a component of specific medicines. So-called plasma derivatives, which are obtained from human blood, support the treatment of various diseases – from hemophilia and antigen defects to Covid-19. The products are in high demand and their manufacture involves complex processes. Precision throughout the value chain helps ensure that patients get the most out of every drop.

    Frequently asked questions

    Blood plasma fractionation is a multi-step manufacturing process that separates plasma into specific protein fractions for further purification and formulation. It typically includes pooling and thawing, basic fractionation, purification, formulation, and the supporting utility and cleaning systems. 

    Blood plasma fractionation can produce therapies and proteins such as albumin, immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, Factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, prothrombin complex factors, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and antithrombin III. The exact product mix depends on the process design and the manufacturer’s portfolio. 

    It combines multiple tightly linked process steps, critical quality controls, utilities, cleaning systems, and automation within one production chain. Complexity rises further when custom engineering and third-party unit operations must work together without creating interface risks. 
     

    Integrated process design reduces handoffs between fractionation, purification, formulation, utilities, and automation. This makes projects easier to execute and gives teams stronger control over efficiency, product quality, and patient safety. 

    They are critical process stages used to protect product quality and patient safety before final formulation. Their performance also depends on the surrounding systems, including buffer preparation, cleaning concepts, and overall process integration. 

    It becomes important when specific purification or separation steps require specialized unit operations outside the core process scope. In these cases, strong integration reduces interface gaps and helps keep the wider process concept aligned. 
     

    Look for end-to-end process understanding, custom and modular engineering capability, integration of utilities and automation, and experience with third-party modules. It is also important to choose a partner that can support quality-focused design, reliable project execution, and lifecycle needs after start-up. 

    Lifecycle services reduce risk by improving uptime, keeping maintenance structured, and making support easier to access when production issues arise. They also help teams adapt equipment and processes as operational needs change over time.
