'Blood lifeline'

Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Matthew Reiterman, Armed Services Whole Blood Processing Laboratory/East lab technician, uses a digital thermometer to check the temperature of a shipment of blood units from donor centers in the United States March 6. Shipments to the ASWBPL take four-to-seven days to arrive and must stay within the correct temperature range; 1-10 degrees Celsius for liquid red blood cells and less than negative 18 degrees Celsius for frozen blood cells.
