How much plasma do you collect?
The amount of plasma we collect varies from person to person. That's because we calculate your donation volume based on your weight and height, which helps us determine your Body Mass Index (BMI). This personalized approach allows us to collect the right amount of plasma for your specific body size, ensuring both your comfort and the quality of the donation. Rest assured, our personalized collection process follow the latest guidance from the FDA, making your donation both faster and safer.
