Abstract A microwave blood plasma defroster capable of thawing up to four bags of frozen blood plasma at a time is described. The unit stops automatically when the plasma reaches a preset temperature, and all operating parameters are monitored for safety. Comparative testing showed that blood plasma thawed in this device was indistinguishable from plasma thawed in a water bath. Key Words: Blood, Defrost, Microwave, Plasma, Thaw
