Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: How much water should I drink before & after donation?

Answer: 6-8 cups

Question: Why does BioLife use fingerprint, and what do we do with the fingerprint and personal information?

Answer: BioLife uses finger scanning technology to facilitate safe, secure, and efficient identification prior to and during an individual’s donation The finger scan does not record your actual fingerprint. It creates and stores a numerical representation of it within a closed environment. Not only is representation highly encrypted during capture and storage, but not enough data is collected to recreate a fingerprint. Although extremely accurate in configuration, it maintains privacy and is confidential.

Now, more than ever, your plasma is urgently needed to create medicines that can help treat people with rare diseases.
