A new plasma center is opening its doors this weekend in the Near West End. BioLife Plasma Services is opening a new location in Richmond, which will be collecting standard plasma that is processed into a wide variety of therapeutics for thousands of patients around the world with rare, life-threatening diseases, such as immunodeficiency disorders, hemophilia, and hereditary angioedema. The need for plasma is greater than ever, and donations can help save lives.

Prospective donors can make online appointments at the Richmond location at 8702 Staples Mill Road, which opens on Saturday, October 31. This is the second BioLife center to open in Virginia, and it is expected to bring more than 60 new jobs to the Richmond community. The center does not yet have the FDA regulatory license needed to release convalescent plasma donations, but plans to collect convalescent plasma donations in the future.
