Most plasma centers offer between $20-$40 dollars per donation depending on the center preference. Plasma centers pay for you to donate plasma because it is a longer process than donating blood. With whole blood (which is what places like the Red Cross collect), it takes about fifteen minutes to donate. This is time people are willing to sacrifice to donate. Plasma takes about forty-five minutes to an hour because you have to separate the red blood cells and plasma in a centrifuge. Since it takes so long, plasma centers offer a cash reimbursment for your time. Also, if you are vaccinated for anthrax, hepatitis, or other diseases that have vaccinations, you can be paid much more because you have those antibodies. This is called immunization programs. Not all centers have it, but if you are vaccinated for anything like that I would recommend calling around and finding a center that offers these programs. They usually pay around one hundred, but it varies, once again, depending on the center.
