22.9.2021 15:52:08 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) – the specialist provider of transfusion medicine in Scotland – will implement the biolog-id blood inventory devices to optimize the management of its blood products across the country. Through this deployment, biolog-id’s cutting-edge technology will streamline the complex inventory and distribution processes of the red blood cells to distant sites, enhancing the visibility and management of those lifesaving products between the Scottish blood centre and each remote blood bank.
Designed for healthcare professionals specialized in the transfusion field, the Biolog Transfusion Solution combines RFID enabled devices powered by a proprietary IT engine and electronic labels. Biolog-id’s contactless devices are integrated into SNBTS’ IT transfusion management solution (MAK-SYSTEM – e-TRACELINE), offering real-time visibility of each component at each step of the supply chain. The corner-stone devices of this solution are the RFID Smart Storage kits (SST-R) retrofitting the existing blood bank cabinets, enabling transfusion personnel to manage more precisely red blood cells units locally and at distance, and particularly to provide accurately the positioning of the blood bags within the cabinets.
“We are very honoured that, through our partnership with MAK-SYTEM, our technology has been positively evaluated by SNBTS to respond to the nation's Hospital Blood Bank sustainability project”, states Philippe Jacquet, Executive Director of Sales EMEA/LATAM at biolog-id. “These implementations demonstrate the value of our Transfusion Solution that, despite distance challenges, ensures a full traceability and security to SNBTS in their crucial mission.
“We were looking for a long time for a technology that would improve service provision within the national blood service and blood banks, whatever the distances”, said Sarah McCubbin, Operational Lead at SNBTS. “By implementing the biolog-id solution not only saves time for the medical staff, but it also ensures full optimization of the blood components’ lifecycle”.
Serving a total of 27 hospitals over Scotland, the SNBTS plays an active and crucial role in the delivery of effective healthcare to patients. This long-term project is already up and running with two sites using biolog-id SST-R kits (Dr Grays’ District General Hospital Elgin, Western Isles). Another deployment is expected to start in the coming weeks at Stracathro Community Hospital with plans to implement further kits on four of the five SNBTS within the next year.

Plasma One Launches to Herald a New Era of Stablecoin Banking19.6.2026 14:29:00 CEST | Press release
Plasma has today announced the launch of Plasma One, its flagship financial product designed to make digital dollars usable for everyday spending, sending and earning. Plasma One is designed to make stablecoins feel like money, only better - more accessible, reliable and efficient. For years, stablecoin adoption has been held back by a fragmented system and poor user experience. We have seen wallets in one place, exchanges in another, and costly off-ramps standing between digital dollars and daily life. Plasma One brings that experience together in a single app, giving users a simple way to spend, send and earn with stablecoins from one account with zero fees. Headquartered in London, the city that gave rise to Revolut, Wise and Monzo, Plasma is making a bigger bet, that the next generation of consumer banking will be built on stablecoin rails, not legacy banking infrastructure. Underneath Plasma One is the Plasma Network, Plasma’s own blockchain, purpose-built to move stablecoins inst
