I think that there are several ways to do this. Keeping the blood cold will help. Storage in air-tight vessels (blood bags) helps, too. Also blood bags come in a sort of "anti-bacterial" material that assists in preserving the blood. There are also "anti-bacterial" additives -- depending upon how you intend to use the blood (transfusion, manufacturing other plasma products, etc.). But, are you asking for animal blood storage? My answer to you is for human blood -- I can only assume that animal blood storage is handled similarly to human blood.

It is sealed and refrigerated until needed or until it expires. Also, preliminary testing is done for each sample to prevent the spread of HIV and other diseases.

Blood that is to be used for donation is refrigerated until its expiration date, at which time it is discarded.

Keep it really, really cold in a clean, sealed vial.
