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?

It’s important to come back for your second visit. The first time you donate plasma we test your donation sample to make sure it’s safe to use in life-saving medicines. We cannot use your first plasma donation until after you make your second donation with us. Fortunately, however, we still compensate you for your first donation. Don’t forget to come back & donate again 2 to 14 days after your first visit.

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.
