Many people donate blood voluntarily because they see it as their civic duty. However, donating plasma entails a longer more tedious withdrawal, so banks offer monetary compensation for each donation. Plasma is essentially the liquid part of the blood which is yellow in color. It is made up of mostly water and proteins. The process of extracting plasma is called plasmapheresis. During this process a machine spins the plasma to separate the liquid from the blood cells. Plasma is used for patients who have blood clotting problems, assist burn victims, and helps create treatments for diseases which attack the immune system. Donating plasma helps others who desperately need it and helps donors in the process.
