AB Elite Plasma Donation
A single AB Elite donation can provide up to 4 units of plasma to patients in need, giving you the power to make an even greater impact.
What is AB Elite Plasma Donation?
During a plasma-only donation, blood is drawn from one arm and sent through a high-tech machine that collects your plasma and then safely and comfortably returns your red cells and platelets back to you, along with some saline. It takes only a few minutes longer than donating blood but can have a profound impact.
Donors with type AB blood make ideal candidates for AB Elite plasma or platelet donations.
