1. A method for spray drying blood plasma, the method comprising:
providing a spray drier device having a collection bag; providing blood plasma; spray drying the blood plasma using the spray drier device to produce a dried plasma product recovered in a collection bag, said dried plasma product having a moisture content at a first moisture level, wherein the first moisture level is associated with a substantially non-clumping dried plasma; removing the dried plasma product from the spray drier device and sealing the dried plasma product in a vapor permeable container; incubating the sealed vapor permeable container containing dried plasma product in vapor communication with a desiccant material located outside the sealed vapor permeable container having sufficient capacity to lower the moisture content of the dried plasma product from the first moisture level to a second moisture level.
