title: A simple method for preparation of good quality cryoprecipitate.
abstract: Production of good quality cryoprecipitate from plasma was achieved, as assessed by quantitating Factor VIII coagulant activity (F VIII C) and Factor related antigen (F VIII R: Ag). The method used resulted in good recovery of FVIII in the cryoprecipitate containing F VIII C: Fibrinogen 0.82 +/- 0.015 IU/mg. The method therefore appears suitable for indigenous preparation of F VIII in standard blood banks as a replacement therapy, which is not expensive.
