Allergic Patients Can Help Support Pollen Allergy Research
Currently Enrolling Allergic Patients to Support Pollen Allergy Research & Diagnostics
We are enrolling allergic patients who use allergy medicine to alleviate moderate to severe grass, tree, weed, and flower pollen allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis.
The Allergy Antibody Plasma Donation program at PlasmaLab relies on donors like you to support important research performed by affiliate medical research groups. Your plasma may also be used to develop test kits used by physicians to diagnose allergies in their patients.
Candidates accepted into PlasmaLab’s Allergy Antibody Plasma Donation program will make 1 to 5 plasma donations and be compensated $185 for each completed plasma donation. There is the potential for long-term participation in this program.
All screening appointments and plasma donations take place at our medical center in Everett WA. We are located one block east of Providence Regional Medical Center’s Pacific campus.
