Abstract

A passive, portable system and a method for storing blood are disclosed. The system comprises a sealable thermal isolation chamber which is preconditioned at a certain temperature for a predefined period of time. The thermal isolation chamber includes cavities of a phase change material which help to maintain the temperature of bags of human blood that are placed into the thermal isolation chamber for storage during transit. The thermal isolation chamber is surrounded by vacuum insulation panels and the vacuum insulation panels, encompassing the thermal isolation chamber, is placed into a durable carrying bag. The thermal isolation chamber is reusable along with the vacuum insulation panels and bag.
