These are the processes of plasma donation:
1. Blood is drawn from the vein of the donor's arm
2. The blood is passed to an automated machine through sterile, single-use tubing. This process is known as aphresis.
3. The machine isolates and collects components of plasma.
4. The remaining blood components are combined with saline.
5. This mixture is then returned back to the blood circulation of the donor.
There are plasma donation centers all over the United States. There are a number of websites which have to locations of plasma donation centers in your area. Some of these are CSL Plasma Donation, Donating Plasma and Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association.
To make a plasma donation is the same as a blood donation. Red blood cells float in plasma, so they take the blood and seperate the plasma. So you might feel a bit dozy or weak after, but this isn't common.
