Have you ever donated blood? This small, selfless act does an immeasurable service to the recipient and save their life. Plasma donations work the same way; only you can donate plasma for money.
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 blood disorders.
Donated plasma is frozen within 24 hours to preserve its value, and it can easily be stored for up to a year. It is given to burn, trauma, and shock patients.
A Noble Act. In the US alone, over 125,000 patients benefit from plasma donation annually. It is administered to patients with burns, shocks, or leukemia.
