About Bio Life Plasma Services

Bio Life Plasma Services, a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, is an industry leader in the collection of high-quality plasma, which is processed into life-saving plasma-based therapies. Some diseases can only be treated with medicines made with plasma. Since plasma can't be made synthetically, many people rely on plasma donors to live healthier, happier lives. Bio Life operates 250+ state-of-the-art plasma donation centers across the United States.

Our employees are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients and ensuring that the donation process is safe, straightforward, and rewarding for donors who wish to make a positive impact.
