Modular blood product storage system for temperature-regulated storage of blood products with a temperature regulation unit for temperature regulation of the blood product storage system, a base unit and at least one agitator unit with an upper connection side, a lower connection side, a movable compartment to receive the blood products and a drive for movement of the compartment, wherein the compartment is arranged between the upper connection side and the lower connection side, wherein the upper connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the temperature regulation unit or a further agitator unit, and wherein the lower connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the base unit or a further agitator unit.

The disclosure provides an apparatus for storing platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The apparatus is configured to reversibly receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) container. The apparatus comprises a platform defining at least one recess configured to receive the PRP container therein; and an agitator configured to move the platform, and thereby agitate PRP stored in the PRP container. The agitator is configured to move the platform in a circular motion at a frequency of between 10 and 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM).
