Why has AdultCells chosen the standard method of adult peripheral blood collection rather than what is called the apheresis blood collection process?
AdultCells chose to employ the natural blood drawing technique proven in use over decades by hospitals, blood banks and other regulated and certified blood drawing laboratories and centers rather than the apheresis method. For several reasons, AdultCells felt this was in the best interest of its clients. The blood drawing technique AdultCells uses is similar to what a client would experience if they were providing a specimen of blood for blood testing purposes. The AdultCells blood collection method is a simpler, safe, convenient, proven and far more cost effective method of drawing blood than the apheresis method. Apheresis has its place; however, it is a very inconvenient, time consuming, considerably more expensive and potentially troublesome to the donor method of blood collection. Apheresis is a machine driven process that is used to extract fluids and cellular elements from blood that is withdrawn from donors that is then reinfused into the donor or patient after harmful elements
