Description
MELBOURNE, VIC. 1943-05-28. AT THE AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY BLOOD BANK AT THE OLD ROYAL MELBOURNE HOSPITAL SOME OF THE BLOOD TAKEN FROM RED CROSS DONORS IS CONVERTED INTO SERUM, WHICH CAN BE STORED FOR A MUCH LONGER PERIOD THAN THE WHOLE BLOOD WHICH CONTAINS CELLS. THE FIRST STEP IN THE PREPARATION OF SERUM IS THE REMOVAL OF THE CELLS. A CREAM SEPARATOR HAS BEEN ADAPTED TO DO THIS. HERE MISS J. MCNAUGHTON IS SHOWN OPERATING THE SEPARATOR.
