Leukocytes in transfused blood may cause complications such as fever and chills. Asahi Kasei Medical's pioneering Sepacell filters reduce leukocytes with confirmed clinical efficacy.
The Sepacell brand was named to represent the separation of white blood cells. Sepacell filters are composed of a nonwoven web of polyester fibers that can effectively reduce leucocytes in a short period of time.
Sepacell filters do not require electric pumps and are convenient for bedside transfusions. Their easy operation also makes them ideal for efficient processing of leukocyte-reduced blood or blood products in laboratories and blood centers.
As the holder of numerous worldwide patents on leukocyte reduction technologies, Asahi Kasei Medical offers a variety of Sepacell filters to meet your needs. Discover our product line today.
