Small volumes. Real answers about how blood stores.
Blood Bags LLC builds various research-grade storage containers that let transfusion scientists study about 10 mL or 25 mL platelet and blood samples with the same in-vitro quality measures as a full unit — at a fraction of the volume, cost, and donor burden.

Study what was unstudiable
Run replicate platelet experiments from a single donor unit — multiply your data points without multiplying donors.
Mirror the parent unit
Platelets stored in the Mini-Bag track in-vitro quality measures of the source concentrate across 7-day storage.
Flag problem donors early
Non-invasive pH trends help identify poor-storing or bacterially contaminated units before they're released.
Built for the bench
The smallest container in transfusion research.
Conventional storage bags are sized for clinical transfusion, not experimentation. Our Mini-Bag was designed alongside blood centers to give researchers a sealed, sterile environment that behaves like a full unit — so the data you publish translates.
Whole-blood pilot work
Sterile sampling without compromising the parent unit.
Custom Applications
Different configurations, sizes and bag films are available.
Storage media R&D
Compare additive solutions in replicate.
Cited in the literature
Mini-Bag protocols have supported peer-reviewed work in pH monitoring, bacterial detection, and platelet storage.
