Plasma Donation

I'm talking about getting paid for plasma donation, not blood donation. I used to get paid for plasma in Grand Forks, North Dakota (I've moved since then), which is hardly nigger territory, population in that area is well over 90% white.

engineering in chem/bioinfo domain, the people with their very long titles were mostly in research I will give you that

I do it whenever I can since I am AB-, my plasma doesn't contain any antibodies. If you are AB, you're doing a huge favor for other people and science.

u mad bro? heck I don't blame you. You have some valid points

why the fuck are they putting the blood black after a donation
in germany you donate blood and thats it no back

because its not a 'whole blood' donation

there are separate parts of your blood (plasma/platelets/etc.), some of which can be separated using a centrifuge so that they can take them without taking all of your blood

this is why people who donate this way can donate (in Canada at least) every 14 days (i think) as opposed to 56 days with whole blood

In the US it's twice every 7 days, with at least one full day in between donations. So if you want to donate twice a week consistently it's best to stick to a schedule because if you miss a day it will throw everything off

how much are they taking from you in each of those two sessions per week? it cant be as much as the (pint?) 450 millilitres right?

correct, one pint twice a week. It's replaced with salene and the body replaces all of the plasma within about a 24-48 hour period.
