How Much Do You Get Paid for Plasma in NYC?
Yes, at all times during the plasma collection process your blood remains inside a sterile tubing system and is never in contact with the equipment used for your plasma donation. All tubing, bags and the needle used to collect your plasma are new, sterile and used only once for you. After use, the entire disposable kit is discarded.
Plasma is the straw-colored, liquid in which your blood cells “swim.” Plasma is composed of about 92% water, 7% proteins such as albumin, gamma globulin, and clotting factors, and 1% nutrients, sugars, fats, hormones and vitamins. Plasma transports these needed nutrients, proteins, clotting factors and germ-fighting antibodies, throughout your body via the circulatory system.
Yes, plasma can be made from a whole blood donation but when you make a plasma donation using automated technology you donate approximately 2 to 3 times the amount of plasma than can be obtained from a whole blood donation. A patient needing plasma will often require large volumes of plasma for their treatment.
A plasma donation feels much the same as a whole blood donation. A small amount of blood is taken from your arm using a new, sterile, single use needle. The blood then literally takes a spin in a centrifuge to separate your plasma from other blood components. The plasma is collected in a separate bag and the remainder of your blood is returned to you. This cycle is repeated several times to generate the required volume of plasma.
