MELBOURNE, VIC. 1943-05-20. AFTER BOTTLES CONTAINING BLOOD FOR TRANSFUSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED FROM THE BLEEDING CENTRES, WHERE THE BLOOD IS EXTRACTED FROM DONORS, TO THE COMMONWEALTH SERUM LABORATORIES, THE BLOOD IS THEN SYPHONED ASEPTICALLY INTO A SPECIALLY ADAPTED CREAM SEPARATOR TO REMOVE THE RED CELLS FROM THE PLASMA WHICH IS THEN COLLECTED INTO A LARGE STERILE BOTTLE. HERE WE SEE MISS M. MCKENZIE REGULATING THE FLOW OF PLASMA INTO THE SEPARATOR.
