With new technology, we are now able to maximize each individual donation by collecting two units of red blood cells during one donation.

Benefits to Donors

  • Two transferable units of red blood cells
  • Smaller needle used than for whole blood donation
  • Fluid replacement helps donors feel better
  • Fewer trips to the blood center
  • Fewer reminder phone calls

Donors must meet the following requirements for participating in this program, in addition to being at least 16 years of age:

  • Male
    Height: 5’1”
    Weight: 130 lbs.
    Hematocrit: 40%
  • Female
    Height: 5’5”
    Weight: 150lbs.
    Hematocrit: 40%
