Do I get paid by the volume of plasma collected?
At Parachute, compensation is not based on donation volume.
Our top priority is your safety. The amount of plasma we collect is determined by your weight and height, which gives us a very accurate understanding of your total blood volume. This means that even if a slightly larger amount is collected from you, it's because this volume is precisely calibrated to be safe and optimal for your body. It allows you to contribute the most effective donation possible while ensuring your well-being.
Rest assured, this is completely safe and is now becoming industry standard.
