PlasmaLab International

Very nice staff. The ladies are family. They know my blood history. The rooms are always clean.

The staff is wonderful, and the facility has a great atmosphere! I highly recommend this place!

Still awesome, the whole staff is amazing!!!

Love coming here !
Always professional. Been coming here for 20 years! Very friendly staff.

Professional, caring staff. Too bad this location isn’t open on weekends.

Help science, hang out with cool staff in a chill room, and earn money for the antibodies in your blood that cause your allergic suffering. If you have allergies or other auto-​immune chronic conditions, scientists need allergic plasma to figure out new ways to cure and treat these diseases, and they get it from Plasmalab. I just donated a bunch of plasma today, and though I feel a little drained, I feel great that I did my part to help science fight the war against allergies.
I’ve worked in several biotechnology laboratories in Seattle, and I really appreciate the atmosphere of hospitality, and the nice people who work at Plasmalab. Some labs I have worked in have been pressure cookers of fear, panic, stress, and anxiety. Plasmalab is not like this. The staff is easy to talk to and very down to earth. Their new remodeled donation room seems to be arranged for optimum positive energy and Feng Shui. The room has a relaxing view and natural light streams in from the windows. The magazine rack is stocked with current magazines, and of course a flat screen TV and DVD player, if that is more your thing.
I wish Plasmalab was a little closer to Seattle, sometimes the drive one way can take 50 minutes with traffic, however Plasmalab is helpful and is happy to schedule appointments during non-​peak traffic times, and they even accommodated one of my appointments last year so I could still go to work that day. And I make $ 100, each time, it’s a win-​win situation.
That being said, there have been a couple of times that I have driven all the way there to donate plasma, and couldn’t. Once my iron was too low (I have a tendency to be anemic, but I use cast iron cookware now, and have no problems these days), and the other reason they didn’t tell me, they just said I couldn’t. I asked to be reimbursed for travel time, and they did once give me $ 5 cash for gas, which was nice. The other time they didn’t. I’d advise if you drove all the way out there at least ask for gas reimbursement, and be courteous and nice about it, seems to work half the time.
Bottom-​line: Being a constantly changing biological organism, I understand there are times it may not be safe for me to donate plasma, and I realize that Plasmalab’s rules are enforced to protect me from harm. Children are dying of anaphylactic shock from their allergies everyday, being inconvenienced one or two times is a small price to pay, –I feel it is my duty as a human being to contribute to the efforts to cure this tragic and deadly condition. Seriously, I would do this for free, because I never again want to read another news article about a child dying from accidentally eating peanuts. That alone makes it worth it for me. I have this awful thing, and by going to Plasmalab and donating, I can help people save children’s lives. You can too.

I’ve been going to PLI for 10 years. The staff is super friendly and courteous. Their building is newly remodeled and immaculate. i would rather be healthy and not need the money but I look at it like a small consolation prize from the universe.
Laura has been there the longest and is awesome! i have been going so long I remember when they had manual donating. The auto machines are fairly new, but very convenient. The research that is done by qualified donations helps a lot of people. Please don’t be disappointed if they can’t accept you. You still get very valuable information that most doctors would not test for, or that are so expensive they are unaffordable.
Even if you do not qualify, and lack of rarity or other conditions or diseases may cause this, you end up with some costly labs for free that may benefit you later on.
In my case, my condition was so rare that not a single doctor, including many specialists, did anything but mis-​diagnose and mistreat me my whole life, while I suffered, and I am now 42. The information in my labs from PlasmaLab led to the correct treatment for my condition. It saved my life.
I not only had an extremely high count of an immune globulin that they were interested in, but, even though they cannot give medical advice, we were able to do our own research based upon distinctly unique lab values which were provided to me at no charge.
If you do go and qualify mention me then I can get the $ 25 finders fee. 20197BH is my I.D. number. Thanks for reading.

After qualifying as allergic to nuts via an initial blood test, today I made a second trip to PlasmaLab from Seattle (40 minutes each way) only to find I was disqualified. AFTER having had also a finger prick and urine test. Only then did a staff member decide, in the midst of verbally going over a long list of questions that could easily have been completed over the phone or by mail, that I was disqualified.
No apologies, no offer of reimbursement for my travel, and when i expressed disappointment that I wasted my time, she said, ridiculously «at least you have your test results». Um, yeah, I already knew I was allergic to nuts; that’s why I came here in the first place!
The specific reason I was disqualified after all that is also ridiculous. It is personal so I won’t be sharing it here, but it in no way presented any sort of risk to myself or anyone else. The staff member cited FDA regulations but frankly I’m not even sure she was interpreting the wording of the question correctly – the first woman who went over the paperwork with me seemed to find my answer no problem.
These folks seriously need to rethink their procedure and qualify people to the extent possible in ways other than making them come to the office. Or else they need to pay people a travel fee.

The staff is awesome. They are courteous, efficient, respectful, informative, and friendly. Say hello to Jeanine, she’s the best and is doing a great job of training Melissa. Sometimes I will just stop by to say hi, they are my extended plasma family. The facilities are clean and professional. Also, they have an endless supply .of chips, juice, and candy. They will even hand feed you while you are donating. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in research, money, blood, or money.

This place advertises as a place for research. I thought great, why not help science and earn money doing it. Just to be sure, I contacted them by phone they assured me that they were using the plasma strictly for research. After driving all of the way North to their office in Everett, I was presented with a long list of exclusions of people who cannot donate – exactly the same list one encounters when donating blood. While I am completely healthy in every way, I could not donate and wasted a trip for nothing.
Other than the false advertising and lying, I’m sure it’s a great place.

My bf donate his plasma here every once a week and he got $ 100 each time he came (it only took him an hour and a half). I really wanna try since they willing to give you $ 200 for your first time but i’m afraid of needle. So, i dont think so. For those of you that need money you might consider this place. you can make money from your plasma. =)
