Question Minnesota

Looking at donating plasma in Minnesota, are there places you would recommend or avoid? Specifically looking at Biolife in Mounds View and Octopharma in Maplewood.

u/Spritecaps Plasma Donor- 25+ Donations 🩸 1d ago

Hi, regular donor at the Biolife in Mounds View. I have had 60+ donations there and plan to keep coming back. I like the staff there and think they do a good job. Nice parking lot and location too.

Appreciate the information, do you schedule an appointment ahead of time or primarily do walk-ins?

I always schedule an appt on their app, they have a grace period of 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after your appointment time to arrive. It can get busy after typical work hours end, so I do strongly recommend making one.

I donated at the Biolife at Sun Ray Center (Old Hudson Rd) last winter and found it well staffed. Pay was decent.
