you`re giving a lot more than just plasma.

YOUR PLASMA DONATION
GIVING IS SAFE
On your initial visit, you’ll be given a physical exam to
assure you’re healthy and fit to donate. And at each
visit, we’ll check your vital signs and review your
medical history to verify there are no changes. Along
with this, we’ll check your red blood cell and plasma
protein levels to make sure they are within our
acceptance limits. After donating, your plasma will be
thoroughly tested for various infections including
hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. This assures your
safety as well as the safety of the medicines derived
from your plasma.

Plasma is essential to life. It is the pale yellow portion
of blood that consists of mostly water and proteins,
which help fight infection and control bleeding. It also
helps in the circulation of red and white blood cells
and platelets.
Because of its blood-clotting and infection-fighting
properties, plasma is used as a base for many lifesaving therapies and medicines. It’s used
in the treatment of life-threatening disorders such
as hemophilia and immune system deficiencies, and
in surgical sealants that benefit thousands of people
every day. Hospitals and emergency rooms also use
plasma-derived albumin to treat traumatic injuries
such as shock and severe burns.

Giving is Simple.
The body replaces plasma quickly. That’s why you
can donate up to two times within seven days, with
at least one day between visits. Donating plasma is
safe and easy. You can listen to music, read or simply
relax while you give. You must be between the ages
of 18 and 98, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in
general good health. After passing a physical exam
and medical health history, you can give, and receive,
for years.
RECEIVE EXTRA MONEY
BY DONATING PLASMA.
Spend it. Save it.
Do whatever you want
with it, but no matter
what you do with the
money, you’ll save a life.
Your Compensation.
BioLife Plasma donors spend approximately an hour,
as often as twice per week, in our centers to help save
someone’s life or improve the quality of it. In addition,
our plasma donors must undergo an initial physical
examination (annually thereafter) and medical history
questioning every time they come in to donate. All
of these measures help to guarantee a healthy donor
population.
Plasma cannot be produced synthetically. It can only
be obtained from healthy adults; therefore we offer
compensation to our donors for their commitment to
the program.
For specific information on compensation, please
contact your local center.
PLASMA CANNOT BE
PRODUCED IN A LABORATORY
OR SOME OTHER ARTIFICIAL
ENVIRONMENT. IT CAN ONLY
BE OBTAINED FROM HEALTHY
ADULTS LIKE YOU.
BioLife values all donors and does not discriminate based on race, gender,
age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, veteran status, or any characteristic protected by Federal, state
or local law. All BioLife donor eligibility criteria must be met to protect the
donor’s health and product safety.
