Feature article: From blood plasma to life-saving medicine

Producing life-saving drugs from blood plasma is long and complex. Numerous laborious purification steps are required to provide patients with safe and effective protein preparations. It often takes seven to nine months between the plasma donation and the release of the finished product. The production of drugs from plasma proteins is longer compared to the much shorter process times of biotechnologically or chemically manufactured drugs.
