1. A drying chamber for use in a spray drying system that uses a spray drying disposable device having a spray drying head and the drying chamber, the drying chamber comprises:
A) a first end in communication with the spray drying head, wherein the spray drying head provides atomized plasma droplets and drying gas to the drying chamber, wherein when in use the atomized plasma droplets are dried into dried plasma particles;
B) a capture filter, residing in the drying chamber, wherein the capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows humid air to pass;
C) a gas outlet, wherein said gas outlet is attached to an exhaust port of the spray drying system during operation, wherein the humid air flows through the gas outlet; and
D) a section disposed between the first end and the gas outlet and configured to become a dried plasma unit after plasma is spray dried;
wherein, when in use, the atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the drying chamber when coming into contact with the drying gas emitted from the spray drying head, to thereby obtain dried plasma particles and humid air.
