| Plasvacc is the only APVMA and NZFSA registered plasma production facility in Australia and, in accordance with APVMA and NZFSA protcols, our quality standards are subject to intense scrutiny.
Every batch of plasma undergoes extensive quality control checks. These quality checks span a three month period and ensure that each batch of Equiplas is disease-free, free of all blood cells and contains a concentration of gamma-globulina 2-3 times higher than that of normal horses.
Equiplas is the only equine plasma product in Australia that can guarantee high and uniform gamma globulin concentrations in each treatment unit. Every one-litre treatment unit of Equiplas will contain a minimum of 22g of gamma-globulins, sometimes much more.
