For most healthy individuals, donating plasma is an option. But there are still a few things we need to verify to determine your eligibility for the plasma donation process.
As a part of Takeda, BioLife values all donors and does not discriminate based on any characteristic protected by Federal, state or local law. This includes race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and veteran status. All BioLife donor eligibility criteria must be met to protect the donor’s health and product safety.
*Donors who are +66 years old at the time of their physical exam must provide a letter from their healthcare professional.
**Your health is determined at your medical screening.
We’ll privately ask questions about your past and present health history. This includes questions about possible exposure to certain infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
Our medical team evaluates your overall health to make sure plasma donation is safe for you.
We will test your blood to make sure your plasma can be donated.

Your identification documents can serve as proof of your current address. A signed lease with your current landlord, a utility bill, or other item mailed through the United States Postal Service (USPS) and postmarked within the last two months is also acceptable.
Electronic proof of address, such as the image of a utility bill, following the same guidelines as above is acceptable. Some exceptions may apply to the donor recruitment area for college students and military personnel. Need more information? Contact your nearest center.
There are a few qualifications for donating plasma that are helpful for you to know. We recommend you thoroughly read these before scheduling your appointment to donate plasma.
