How long can plasma be kept?

Plasma can typically be stored for up to one year when frozen at temperatures of -18°C (0°F) or lower. However, its shelf life can be extended to up to 7 years if stored at ultra-low temperatures in specialized freezers. Once thawed, plasma should be used within 24 hours if stored at refrigerator temperatures. Proper storage conditions are crucial to maintain the quality and safety of the plasma.
