IN-VIVO BLOOD STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for testing the efficacy of agents (e.g., new drugs, old drugs, biologically-active agents, etc.) by removing a predetermined amount of blood from a living being and placing this predetermined amount of blood in continuous motion in a temperature-controlled environment and then removing samples from the continuously-moving predetermined amount of blood. The drug, or drugs, or agents under test can then be administered to the removed samples, instead of into the living being, thereby avoiding subjecting the living being to any risk of any adverse reaction while utilizing blood samples that simulate the circulating blood of the living being.
