APHERESIS DONATION

Through apheresis, you only donate a specific component. Giving an individual component is extremely helpful for our community’s supply and allows us to maximize the use of your time and blood donation. Like with a whole blood donation, please eat a good meal, drink plenty of water, and bring a photo I.D. Additionally, please do not take aspirin or products containing aspirin within 48 hours of your apheresis donation. From registration to cookies, please allow 120 minutes for platelet donation and 90 minutes for plasma donation.
