Phoenix Plasma Donation Tips

1

Beat the Heat - Hydration is Critical

Phoenix summers regularly exceed 110F. Drink at least 80-100oz of water the day before donating. Dehydration causes failed screenings and longer donation times as the plasmapheresis machine struggles.

2

Morning Donations Beat Afternoon Heat

Schedule donations before 10am during summer. Walking across a hot parking lot after donating in 115F heat can make you feel faint. Your body is already slightly dehydrated from the process.

3

East Valley Pays More

Gilbert and Mesa BioLife locations consistently pay $5-$15 more per visit than central Phoenix or West Valley centers due to newer facilities and competition. Worth the drive if you live anywhere on the east side.

4

ASU Students - Use Tempe CSL

CSL Tempe is closest to ASU and runs special promotions at semester starts. You can use campus housing as proof of address. Many students typically bring in an estimated $400-$600/month while in school.

Four things that stop you losing a payment

A deferral costs the whole visit, and almost all of them come down to iron, protein or hydration. These are the cheapest ways to keep yourself eligible.

Nature Made Iron 65 mg Tablets Nature Made Iron 65 mg Tablets Under $25 Low hematocrit is the most common reason a donation gets turned away, and a deferral costs you the whole visit. This is the cheapest insurance against losing a payment. Check price on Amazon → Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Under $50 Plasma is mostly protein, and low protein is the second most common deferral. A scoop a day is far cheaper than a wasted trip. Check price on Amazon → Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Packets Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Packets Under $25 Hydration is what decides whether the draw runs fast or you sit there for an hour. Electrolytes work better than plain water for this.
