Payment
As a return donor, you will receive $50 per donation with additional incentives based on how many times you donate within the month. Please ask your center for specific details on incentives.
At Proesis, we love the fact you feel good enough to tell your friends about us. We are currently offering a $50 referral bonus for each new donor you bring to us. The new donor must donate twice for you to receive the payout and you must be a current donor.
Eligibility
Generally, plasma donors must be at least 18 years of age and weigh at least 110 pounds. All individuals must pass two separate medical examinations: a medical history screening and testing for transmissible viruses, before their donated plasma can be used to manufacture plasma protein therapies.
You must have a pre-donation physical which includes answering medical history questions, tests for infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis and evaluating your protein and hemoglobin levels.
Provide a document with a Social Security Number (SSN) / Social Insurance Number (SIN). Donors must also provide a current valid Federal or State Identification card and proof of address, which can include a recent bill received via mail or other documentation showing your current living address.
Yes, you can donate with tattoos. If you have one or more tattoos, you must have blank skin the size of a quarter around the area of your vein where the needle goes in. If there is any tattoo ink that falls in that area, you are not able to donate.
There also may be a deferral period if you have a fresh tattoo. To determine if your tattoo is suitable or what the deferral timeframe is, please discuss with our medical staff.

Donation
Most people compare the feeling of the needle to a mild bee sting. You will also be required to submit to a finger stick test each time you donate so the collection center medical staff can evaluate your protein and hemoglobin levels.
Yes. Overseen by various regulatory agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the plasma donation process is performed in a highly controlled, aseptic environment by professionally trained staff, including oversight by onsite licensed medical professionals.
Your plasma is collected in a sterile disposable closed system ensuring no contamination. In addition, highly regulated cleaning protocols ensure the process is safe.
Donating plasma is like giving blood. A needle is placed into a vein in your arm. Plasma is collected through a process call plasmapheresis and is conducted in cycles that may take up to an hour. The following steps outline the donation process:
Step 1: Whole blood is drawn.
Step 2: The plasma is separated from the red blood cells and other cellular components.
Step 3: Then, the red blood cells are returned along with a sterile saline solution, which serves to replace the volume of plasma taken during the donation.
Nearly 500 different types of proteins have been found in human blood plasma. Approximately 150 of these may be used for diagnosing disease or manufacturing life-saving therapies.
