Have you ever donated blood? This small, selfless act does an immeasurable service to the recipient and can even save their life. Plasma donations work the same way; only you can donate plasma for money.
Blood donations are straightforward and take less than 8-10 minutes. The process starts by cleansing the area on the donor’s arm, inserting a sterile needle, and drawing blood.
Whole blood can be stored in a refrigerator at 6 degrees Celsius for up to 42 days. It is used for blood transfusions to treat patients suffering from anemia, cancer, and blood disorders.
In general, plasma donors must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and weigh at least 110 pounds. Before being eligible to donate plasma, a donor needs to pass two medical examinations.
– Testing for transmissible viruses
– A medical history screening
Before donating, the donor must:
