The INTERCEPT™ Blood System

The INTERCEPT™ Blood System for platelets and plasma uses amotosalen – a well-characterised photoactive compound that specifically targets DNA and RNA – and UVA illumination to irreversibly crosslink nucleic acids. In doing so, INTERCEPT blocks replication of viruses, bacteria, leukocytes and parasites, rendering them inactive.
