The Transfusion Medicine & Therapeutic Pathology Division (PSCS-TM&TP) encompasses the Apheresis and Infusion Clinic, the Stem Cell Lab, and the Blood Bank, and the Penn Medicine Blood Donation Center. The PCSC-TM&TP operates in compliance with FDA regulations, is accredited by the AABB and FACT, and specializes in the collection, processing, and re-infusion of cellular products, and offering mononuclear cell, whole blood, and plasma collections, elutriation, and infusion of intravenous medications under medical supervision. The Clinical Pathology Division (PCSC-CP) specializes in the analysis of blood and serum samples, including chemistry, microbiology, coagulation, hematology, immunology, and molecular pathology.
