The growing focus on epidemiology and translational science, along with the generation and preservation of biological samples (which includes variants of blood) for studies and experimentation, has increased the need for storage solutions that can extend the shelf life of blood.Approximately 50% blood donations happen in high-income countries, which have only 20% of the global population. There is an emphasis on proper storage facilities to store, track, and monitor blood that is supplied or transported to countries that face a shortage of blood units, thereby requiring advanced refrigerating systems.Endorsement of blood banks regarding blood monitoring and storage systems (which includes refrigerators and freezers) using radio frequency identification (RFID) will increase the penetration rate of storage solutions. For instance, in March 2016, Australia’s National Blood Bank endorsed the usage of SpaceCode’s

RFID system at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney.Awareness programs such as Blood and Transfusion Safety program by WHO support the development of national blood systems (starting from collection to storage to supply) throughout the world to ensure timely access to safe and adequate supplies of blood and blood-related products, thereby driving the demand for technologically advanced storage solutions.
