Abstract
When plasma is frozen as done in the preparation of cryoprecipitates, all solutes, of which sodium chloride is a major component, concentrate in the inter-ice-crystalline spaces. This concentrated salt causes the precipitation of various proteins according to their solubilities. The theory was substantiated by “salting out” experiments of plasma proteins using sodium chloride of increasing concentration.
