Donation

A trained phlebotomist will escort you to a donation bed to begin the plasma donation process. A specialized medical device will separate your plasma from your other blood components through a safe, automated process called plasmapheresis.

After Care

While plasma regenerates very quickly (usually within 24-48 hours) and plasmapheresis has few to no adverse effects, it is important to take care of yourself after your donation. Having something to eat and drink within two hours after your donation helps replenish your blood volume and restore your energy.

What's Next?

The only thing more important than your first donation is your second. Without at least two donations, your plasma cannot be used to make life-changing medicines. Please stop by the reception area or give us a call to set up an appointment for your next donation.
