What should I bring with me?

If you’re a first-time plasma donor, you’ll need a current, valid photo ID (must be 18 years old), Social Security Card, and proof of current address (such as a piece of mail postmarked in the past 30 days, or a current lease). Active military members should provide both their mailing and physical addresses.

How long does it take to donate plasma?

Your first visit will take 1 to 2 hours due to an initial donor suitability screening, which includes a video, medical history review, and a health questionnaire. Regular donations typically take less time.

What to expect when donating plasma?

As a first-time donor, you will check in at the front desk with your required documents, watch an educational video, complete a health screening and medical questionnaire, and, if eligible, proceed with your donation.

How should I prepare for my plasma donation?

Stay well-hydrated by drinking 6 to 8 cups of water or juice the day before and the day of your donation. Eat protein-rich and iron-rich meals at least 3 hours before donating. Avoid fatty foods and alcohol before your donation.

How often can I donate plasma?

Octapharma Plasma follows FDA guidelines, which allow up to two plasma donations within a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations.

When do I come back for my second plasma donation?

You should return for your second donation within 2 to 14 days after your first visit. The first donation is tested for safety, and the second confirms its usability.

When should I expect my payment? And, how do I receive it?

Most Octapharma donors receive their payment on a prepaid card within 24 hours after a successful plasma donation.
