How does ADMA pay for Plasma Donations?
Brief Description
ADMA BioCenters, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADMA Biologics, Inc., is committed to collecting life-saving human plasma from donors. By becoming a plasma donor, individuals can provide antibodies and proteins needed to help save lives and receive compensation for their efforts. ADMA BioCenters follows CDC guidelines to help protect donors and staff and ensures its state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with experienced clinicians and staff credentialed for phlebotomy, plasma collection, and donor care. Plasma donations have the potential to produce antibodies that can help immune-compromised patients fight infections, including COVID-19.
