⁉️ What is APHERESIS!? It is an automated process known as apheresis. This process collects whole blood from the donor, isolates the needed component (plasma, platelets, or red cells), then returns the remaining components and a saline solution to the donor. ⏰ How long do these donations take? ✔️ Platelets: Approximately 2 hours; you can donate every 7 days ✔️ Plasma: 1.5 hours; you can donate every 4 weeks ✔️ Doubled Red: 1.5 hours; you can donate every 16 weeks . . . #LifeStream #apheresis #pl
