What follows after the initial screening in plasma donation?

After the initial screening in plasma donation, the next step typically involves the actual collection of plasma, which is performed through plasmapheresis. During this process, a needle is inserted into the donor’s arm to access a vein, allowing for blood to be drawn. The blood is then processed to separate the plasma from the red blood cells and other components. This step is crucial as it directly follows the screening, where the donor’s eligibility is assessed for safety and health standards before the actual plasma collection begins.
