4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the spray flow rate is nitrogen flow rate.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise an inlet temperature of substantially between 100° to 114° C., a pump setting of substantially between 18 to 28%, an aspiration setting of substantially between 80% to 100%, a spray flow rate of substantially between 30 to 40 mm Hg, an outlet temperature of substantially between 40° to 44° C., or any combination thereof.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reconstituting the physiologically-active plasma powder utilizing a reconstitution fluid to form physiologically-active reconstituted plasma.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising transfusing the physiologically-active reconstituted plasma into a human.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein a recovery rate of physiologically-active functional proteins in the reconstituted plasma ranges from 50% to 90%, as compared to physiologically functional plasma proteins in plasma prior to spray drying.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reconstitution fluid comprises distilled water, glycine, or any combination thereof.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plasma comprises human plasma.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting a pump setting and/or an inlet temperature based on the outlet temperature further comprises adjusting a pump setting and/or an inlet temperature if the outlet temperature is not between substantially 40° to 44° C.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying the physiologically-active plasma powder directly to a human via application of the physiologically-active plasma powder directly to a wound on the human.
13. A spray-dried physiologically-active plasma powder-prepared by made from the steps of:
providing plasma derived from blood to a spray-drying apparatus;
spray-drying the plasma with the spray-drying apparatus to form the physiologically-active plasma powder, the spray-drying apparatus configured utilizing one or more parameters, wherein during spray drying, the spray-drying apparatus determines an outlet temperature; and adjusts a pump setting and/or an inlet temperature of the spray-drying apparatus based on the outlet temperature.
