All blood donations are processed and available for use usually within 24 hours. Whole blood is processed into components (red blood cells, platelets, plasma). After processing, the red blood cells can be stored for 42 days.
Platelets that have been separated off will only keep for 5 days (must be kept at room temperature and agitated to keep them alive). Most blood transfusions (ie for anaemia or blood loss) are given as concentrated (packed) red cells.
