Blood Centers of America (BCA) represents over 60 blood centers and 500+ collection sites nationwide. With the goal of helping blood centers control costs and promote growth, BCA supports members through combined purchasing power within BCA’s supplier partner network. Cost efficiency is particularly critical today as demand for blood products increases while donations are decreasing.
MaxQ’s thermal packaging systems are a perfect fit for adding operational efficiency while protecting fragile blood supplies for both the busiest blood centers and smallest collection sites. The MaxPlus Thermal Control Transport Systems can be used for both commercial and research applications to move human blood products, cells, clinical grade materials and tissues.
Blood Centers of America has also partnered with the American Association of Tissue Banks to expand its membership benefits to the tissue banking industry. MaxQ’s range of systems are also appropriate in the therapeutic, diagnostic, biologics, tissue and cell therapy industries.
“At the recent 2022 BCA Supplier Meeting we learned about the current market trends for blood centers and how suppliers and blood centers can work together as partners during these trying times,” said Jeff Gutkind, Director of Sales, Life Science Packaging Solutions for MaxQ. “Their challenges include increasing supplier costs, the impact of rising fuel costs, and the decrease in donations.” He also shared other challenges, for example how blood centers are competing with source plasma centers that offer significantly stronger incentives to donors.
“Through our supplier partnership with BCA and AATB, we will work to provide high quality MaxQ products as cost-effectively as possible,” said Jeff. “We understand how critical supply is, and can help blood centers reduce waste and ensure safe and efficient blood product transport.”
