Background And Objectives: Plasma components are visually inspected, and non-transparent, turbid units are rejected for transfusion and fractionation. Additionally, in case a plasma component is deemed lipaemic, there is conflicting data on the accompanying red cell concentrate (RCC) in vitro quality. As visual inspection of plasma turbidity is a subjective method, we aimed to devise an objective measurement using a quick, non-invasive, table-top spectrophotometry-based method.
