Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
The process of preparing a blood fraction suitable for use as an organ perfusate from coagulation factor-depleted blood serum and plasma comprising selective precipitation by admixing with from about 2% to about 12% of a compound of the formula ##EQU2## wherein a and c are integers such that the hydrophile portion represented by (CH 2 CH 2 O) constitutes at least about 50% of the molecule and b is an integer such that the hydrophobic portion represented by ##EQU3## has a molecular weight of at least about 950 at a pH from about 4 to 5, separating the resulting precipitate from the supernatant and then adjusting the concentration of said copolymer in said supernatant to from about 14% to about 24% and adjusting to a pH of from about 4 to about 5 with acetate buffer at a temperature of from about 0° C to about 10° C to provide a precipitate for reconstitution to the desired organ perfusate.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 in which the block copolymer contains about 80% of polyoxyethylene hydrophilic units in the molecule and the polyoxypropylene hydrophobic base has a molecular weight of about 950.
