What Is Red Cell Plasma?

Red Cell Plasma is a specialized automated donation process known as apheresis. During a Red Cell Plasma donation, we collect only the Red Blood Cells and Plasma while returning your platelets and other components safely back to you.
Red Blood Cells

The role of Red Blood Cells is to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. They are vital for trauma victims, surgery patients, and for treating anemia.

 Plasma

Plasma is the liquid portion of blood that helps replace lost proteins and restores vital clotting factors, helping stop patients from bleeding.
