Winter Weather Impacts Blood Donations

Severe winter weather has forced the cancellation of blood drives and closure of donation centers in parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Hundreds of blood and platelet donations have gone uncollected. If you are in an area where it is safe to travel, please schedule to donate now.

Contract Manufacturing

The Red Cross proudly offers biotechnology companies the collection of blood cells and products for their manufacturing of special drugs.

In recent years, commercial and clinical efforts to use blood components, whether autologous or allogeneic, to develop and deliver novel drug therapies have grown substantially. The Red Cross is playing a key role in this arena, providing cell collection support and contract manufacturing services to leading biotechnology companies.

Red Cross staff in our two clean rooms in Philadelphia perform contract manufacturing to the exact specifications provided by our biotechnology clients, utilizing blood components collected by the Red Cross or third parties.
