Attention all blood donors but especially donors in blood types O negative, A negative and B negative and O positive Along with units of whole blood we will be collecting Red Cell Apheresis. This process separates the Red Blood Cells from your donation while returning the other components of blood back to you this is also know as the ALEX system. Red Blood Cells are the most commonly required blood component and their need is growing. Red Blood Cells carry oxygen to all tissues of the body.  They are most needed in anemic patients, transplant patients, heart surgery patients or accident and trauma patients.
