Plasma Donation Center
A Plasma Donation Center is a facility where individuals can donate their plasma, a component of blood that contains proteins and antibodies. Plasma is essential for various medical treatments, including therapies for patients with immune deficiencies, burn victims, and those undergoing surgeries. Donors typically undergo a screening process to ensure their eligibility and safety.
During the donation process, blood is drawn from the donor, and the plasma is separated using a machine called a centrifuge. The remaining blood components, such as red blood cells and platelets, are returned to the donor. Each donation can take about an hour, and donors are often compensated for their time.
