Plasma, the straw-colored, liquid portion of blood, contains some clotting factors – proteins that help make blood clot so that blood vessels are sealed and bleeding stops. Plasma also has other proteins, such as antibodies. Antibodies help fight infection.

Once plasma is separated from the red blood cells, it can be frozen and kept for up to a year until it is needed. Once thawed, it is called fresh frozen plasma (FFP).

Whole blood (what people typically donate) contains all of the blood components. Each donated unit (about a pint) of whole blood is usually separated into several blood products, such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and/or cryoprecipitate. This allows doctors to give patients only the components they need, as well as stretch out the blood supply. People rarely need whole blood transfusions.
