I have talked about donating blood plasma for money before. While it is true that there are many diseases that people can get from plasma biotherapies, on the flip side, so many households who suffer economically have also been helped financially from plasma donations. And the good thing is that there are donation centers around the country, from Florida, Wisconsin, Virginia and Michigan, to Washington, New York, Chicago and everywhere in between.

This is one of the main questions I see being asked when it comes to plasma donation for money. There are a few different factors hat determine just how much money you get each time you donate plasma. But the biggest factor probably is the donation center you use.

There are a few major centers around the country, so I will give you the info on how much they pay. Keep in mind that there is a waiting period for this and you will have to wait a few days before you can donate another round. CSL Plasma , on the other hand, gives you points for every successful donation which you can redeem for cash or other prizes.

After the donation is done, someone, usually the nurse, will scan your plasma donation bag with your identification details. After which, money automatically be credited to your account. Some of these plasma donation centers may even have ATMs inside so people can check their balance immediately. Click to Join Ipsos Now!

There will be a lot of waiting. Sign in, wait to have the intake asked questions and protein sampled , wait to be seated on a bed, then wait to be verified and stuck. Expect the time you are attached to a machine to be about an hour. Though this varies based on amount of plasma being donated, your veins and equipment. Drink sips of water regularly the day before and day of donating.

AVOID eating fatty foods the day of donation!

It really depends on the location. Also, normally the first time takes more time. Once they have you in the system, it becomes much faster on the subsequent visits. Thanks for the suggestions. It is never going to be 15 min, though. I see what you are saying, Coleman. It was more of a expression that an exact time frame. But you are right, it would probably be closer to 30 min or so.

CSL Plasma Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

I updated the article to reflect that. No not 30 minutes. More like almost an hour or so. Dont bullshit yourself…the only reason to go to these places is a desperate need for money…and if you are stupid enough to believe you arent being cheated then you arent researching these organizations and how much they are making off your donation.

They lie about your payments and will cheat you when its convenient for them. You people who believe that bullshit lie that these places are trying to save lives have allowed your desperate need for a few extra buckscto cloud your thinking.

These people are getting rich off your lack initiative to find a better way to get a couple extra dollars in your pocket.

Even the devil comes across as being your friend and looking out for your best interests. After all, operating huge centers are costly and not many of these companies are doing it for free. And yes, I agree that there are risks involved, which is why we mentioned it in the post. These companies make huge profits. When the donation center has a armed guard that should tell you something to.

Your gonna see all kinds of people your gonna hear alll kinds of language. My center got me on a rabies vaccine program. I was susposed to get a certain ammount extra every month. After a couple of months they cut the ammount i get paid. Good way to increase profits right. They still get their product from me they still sell it and they cut their cost that equals more profit.

Yes they do make money off your plasma but you do get paid. I am a nurse and I used to do this for free at the hospital for which I worked but sometimes when I needed money I would go to the clinics I know that these clinics are FDA-approved they are inspected regularly and it is just as safe as giving blood a blood bank or at a hospital.

Oh yeah did I say nothing? If they stick u no matter what happens they have to pay you. We get paid and the patient still pays but understand this. They make many things from it like medications ect.

I can tell you we do it because we need the money. It is very humbling to go and do this and I doubt very few go because of there fellow man. The centers needed more bodies to extract these fluids from so they had to seduce us with money.

They found out they could get us in there for just that little bit they give us. I guarantee if we all got together and stopped giving our extremely valuable life saving fluids until we were compensated at a reasonable and respectable level of income, it would not take very long for the business owners to make the necessary adjustments.

This would absolutely get the money where it is needed and that is the people who are temporarily down on there income for many reasons. I know we are being dis-respected and looked down on as the low lives. We are nothing of the sort and we are letting them do this to us. I know that each individual does more than 50 people in 8 hrs. Lets go with a very low 40 people processed and multiply that by a low 3 booths open for processing us.

So 40 people processed from just one booth and multiply that times three booths open with employees processing donors. That is 8 hrs. When I looked up your links about plasma donating, I phoned a few of the places. This is because you get your red blood cells back, they only keep your plasma, so that slows it all down some. Still it saves lives so a worth venture.

Yeah, I would imagine the first time it would take that long since they do have to check everything to make sure you are qualified to donate. You need to read, The Twisted Business of Donating Plasma, an article in the Atlantic for a more informed view of the plasma business.

It can have serious health consequences, especially for donors in the US that can donate twice weekly where in other countries donation is only allowed once every two weeks.

The paid process also encourages many people desperate for the money to lie in answer to health related questions in order to donate. It really is a twisted business. I considered it and have decided to pass for now, not worth the risks.

I have laid on the couch for 20 minutes waiting to be unhooked from the machine. About three months ago i saw a woman pull the needle out of her arm grab a bandage and walk out cussing she had been waiting while the attendants bullshited.

But how much do these companies sell the plasma for? But does that really matter? I mean, there are a lot of things we sell and buy that the original buyers and sellers pay much more for. Not to mention that even though the hospitals and centers may sell the plasma for more than they pay you, they also have to cover the cost of running their whole operation.

They give you a compensation for DONATING… a big difference. You are absolutely correct, Carolina. But at the end of the day they are paying you for the plasma in the blood you donated.

Yeah they get a lot of money to sell our plasma to big pharma companies but that money is paying for all the centers employees salaries and machines and supplies.

It is not donating if we are getting paid. I supplemented my income with this SALE of my bioproducts in school and the euphemism always rang false to me, especially when most companies were extracting more plasma for the same payment from people over a certain weight.

Thanks for the tip about the Atlantic article. I will bring it along for something to read the next time financial necessity demands I sell my body for money.

The more hydrated you are the quicker you donate and stay away from cheese, and fatty foods. These things all factor into the time it takes to donate. I usually on a typical donation day figure 2 hrs, 45 minutes for intake,then minutes after I am hooked up, then 10 minutes to finish up, sometimes it takes less time sometimes a little longer.

I started because a family member was severly burned and I learned that others plasma was helping to heal him, so I wanted to give back. Yes the money helps. But so does knowing I am helping others. Rose Marie Buchert says. Make sure u have a lot of time—they r so unorganized there have been times when I was there for 6 hours. Best bet—if u drive, go to CSL in Beloit, WI. They always have bonuses each month. Its worth it and this center is quick.
