“Why Do We Irradiate Blood?”

Ten Minute Tutorial

Recorded January 2013

This BBGuy Podlet is the first in the “Why Do We…?” series. It is a ten minute tutorial on irradiation of blood products and aspects of Transfusion-associated Graft vs. Host Disease (TA-GVHD).

The Blood Bank Guy Videos were recorded at various times between 2010 and 2014. All videos were as current as I could make them at the time of the recording, but I cannot guarantee that they are 100% up to date. For more information on many topics covered in these videos, please see either the Blood Bank Guy Essentials Podcast or the Blood Bank Guy Essentials Blog!
