Tracing your blood after it’s donated
Blood 1-1
Blood is available to be shipped to hospitals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and hospitals typically keep some blood units on-site.
Upon arriving at processing centers, donated blood is spun in centrifuges to separate it into transfusable components, including red cells, platelets and plasma.
