We our own donor center and are experiencing an excess of plasma.  We also discard a small percent of thawed plasma and HLA positive plasma.  I was wondering if there were any companies that would purchase this type of products.  Any information would be helpful.  Thanks

You could call your local blood donation center and ask what they do with their extra plasma.

Thanks, I will try that.  I have been asking around but have had no luck so far.

try seraplex or zenbio,

Try CSL.

Thanks so much!

I wonder if places that are starting to stock whole blood for MTPs end up needing to pack the units toward the end of their dating and thus have plasma they would like to sell also.  Back in the days of whole blood in the 80s that was a normal thing but rules weren't so tight then either.

If the plasma has Infectious disease state documents then HB may be interested in purchasing plasmas as we currently buy from commercial sources.  

I received this email below from jeskarmazinmd@gmail.com on 1/18/2019. You may want to contact Dr. Karmazin if you have any healthy plasma collected from young donors (16-25 yr old) that you would like to sell.

 

Hi, I am interested in setting up an account to order young plasma (FFP), from donors ages 16-25.

My company, Ambrosia, is focused on using young plasma as a
restorative treatment for chronic illnesses. We have had success over
the last several years, including a clinical trial completed in 2018.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Dr. Jesse Karmazin

We sell ours to DCI BIO, LLC. 

Thank you!
