An American Red Cross technician applies a label to one of many vials that will be used during blood donation at the Red Cross mobile blood drive at the Sports and Fitness Center June 23, 2010, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The vials are drawn from a smaller bag that collects blood before the donation begins using tubing and a needle. The American Red Cross collected 26 pints from ALYX Component Collection System donors, 77 pints from standard donors and 103 pints total. Through ALYX, donors are able to give two units of red cells during one visit, providing double the impact for patients requiring the most critically needed blood types.
