A blood bank is a cache or bank of blood or blood components , gathered as a result of blood donation , stored and preserved for later use in blood transfusion . The term blood bank typically refers to a division of a hospital laboratory where the storage of blood product occurs and where proper testing is performed to reduce the risk of transfusion related events. It is important for a blood bank to pass all the eligibility guidelines as mandated by the National Health Service (NHS) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) . The safety and reliability should also be a consideration too. This includes compatibility testing for transfusion and may include blood donation processing, depending on the capabilities of the facility.
