ELECTROMAGNETIC BLOOD PRESERVATION AND STORAGE

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include method, system and apparatus for storing fluids (including whole blood or any of the components thereof) to thereby enhance viability of the fluids being stored outside a living body. Embodiments of the present invention include, for example, exposing an electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, field or combinations thereof to one or more storage mediums containing the fluids. Embodiments of the fields exposed to the blood or components thereof thereby causing one or more cells to be repelled from the field to reduce the risk of the one or more cells from sticking together. Embodiments of the claimed invention advantageously extend the viability or shelf life of the blood or components thereof. Embodiments of the present invention can further include a pump for circulating the fluids and a warmer to maintain a constant temperature.
