Blood components study processing schematic.
CBC blood from patients with blood culture positive for S. aureus was divided into 1 ml each for detection of S. aureus load in plasma, white blood cells (WBCs) and whole blood. Plasma was processed using a column based resin (CBR) cartridge. WBCs and whole blood was processed in a filter based (FB) cartridge.
