A blood bank is an institution that “collects,” “tests,” “processes,” and “stores the blood” and its mechanism for future use. The blood bank's main functions are to make arrangement and demonstrate the collection of blood and its system. The main goals of a blood bank are to ensure that there is sufficient blood for patients required for blood transfer and to make sure the waste of blood products is minimized. The blood supply to a particular blood bank comes from expeditions and blood camps. “Donors who come to the bank and donate blood are other sources of supply.” Many large blood banks collect their blood from blood banks' shares and donations. Blood is collected and stored in plastic bags that contain anticoagulant solutions. “Blood is collected by donation and stored in plastic bags, often called whole blood (WB).”

Blood is a vital living tissue that is responsible for transporting substances throughout the body, and so is uniquely important (Olusanya et al., 2015). Blood banks are responsible for the activities relating to the collection, preservation and distribution of blood products. Generally, blood banks run campaigns to gather donations from the public. The frequency of these blood donation campaigns tends to increase as the supply of blood products decreases, in conjunction with an increase in demand (Olusanya & Adewumi, 2014). A common issue faced relates to an insufficient supply of whole blood (WB) units to distribute to patients in need.

Traditionally, whole blood is processed and stored in blood banks for future transfusion after collection from donors. To eliminate febrile and allergic reactions and improve the storage life, the general prepossessing includes anticoagulation treatment, pathogen reduction, WBC reduction (leukoreduction), and other specialized storage procedures [43–45]. Nevertheless, the expiration of unseparated whole blood remains relatively fast, i.e. in the range of 20–30 days when stored at 2–6°C in a refrigerator (depending on the anticoagulant type) [46].
