Blood, which is a mix of many components, both cellular and chemical, behaves like many other salty (saline) solutions and freezes at between -2 to -3 degrees celsius.

Normally however, each unit of whole blood is separated into several components: Red Blood Cells, which may be stored at 4 degrees C for 40 or so days, or frozen (generally at -79 degrees C) for up to 10 years.

Platelets (functional in the control of bleeding) are stored at room temperature and are generally kept for a maximum of five days.

Blood Plasma (the chemical-rich media in which the cells are transported), is usually kept in the frozen state for up to one year.

So -2 /-3 degrees, but it is not generally held at this temperature in terms of storage.

If you're talking animals in general, it may be worth my mentioning that under special experimental conditions, Antarctic fish have been observed functioning in ice-free cold salt water at a temperature of -6°C thanks to anti-freeze proteins

In which temperature we store the freeze plasma?

Freeze plasma should be stored at a temperature of -18°C to -25°C to maintain its stability and efficacy. It is important to monitor the temperature consistently to prevent any degradation of the plasma.


Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a fresh lake?

The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.


How do ice help stop a nose bleed?

Ice will make the blood vessels contract. This will slow down the flow of blood and will help it to stop. Do not freeze your nose. Ice as in around its melting point of temperature is good.
