What is the primary purpose of collecting human plasma at CSL Plasma?

The primary purpose of collecting human plasma at CSL Plasma is to produce life-saving therapies. Plasma, the liquid component of blood, contains proteins and other substances that are essential for various medical treatments. The collection process is part of the larger goal to manufacture therapies for patients suffering from chronic conditions such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, and other blood-related disorders. These therapies are derived from the proteins found in plasma, making its collection a critical component in ensuring that patients have access to the necessary treatments to maintain their health and well-being.

While storing plasma for future use may occur, or it might be utilized in research studies, these activities are secondary to the core mission of creating essential therapies for those in need. Supplying the entertainment industry does not align with the primary medical and health-focused objectives of CSL Plasma.
