How it Works
Bio-Donor ServicesHow Bio-Donor Services Works
1. Research and Qualify
Start by researching donation types that match your eligibility. Each donation type (plasma, sperm, eggs, etc.) has specific requirements based on age, health, medical history, and physical characteristics. Most centers require government ID, proof of address, and Social Security number. Complete an initial screening questionnaire to determine basic eligibility before proceeding.
2. Medical Screening and Testing
Once pre-qualified, you'll undergo comprehensive medical screening. This typically includes a physical examination, detailed medical history review, infectious disease testing, and specialized tests for specific donation types. For example, sperm donors undergo genetic testing and semen analysis, while egg donors require hormone level testing and ultrasounds. This process ensures both your safety and the quality of your donation.
3. Donation Process
After approval, you'll begin the actual donation process. For plasma, this involves a 1-2 hour appointment where blood is drawn, plasma separated, and remaining components returned to your body. Sperm donation requires regular visits to provide samples in private collection rooms. Egg donation involves hormone injections followed by a retrieval procedure. Each donation type has its own protocol, frequency limits, and compensation schedule.
4. Compensation and Follow-up
Receive payment according to the center's compensation structure. Most plasma centers pay immediately via prepaid debit cards, while sperm banks typically pay weekly or monthly. Egg donation usually provides payment after the retrieval procedure. Many programs offer bonuses for referrals, consistent donations, or high-quality samples. Regular donors will undergo periodic health screenings to ensure continued eligibility and monitor health parameters.
5. Optimize and Scale
As you become familiar with the process, you can optimize your earnings by taking advantage of promotional bonuses, maintaining ideal donation conditions (proper hydration, nutrition, rest), and potentially registering with multiple facilities where permitted. Some donors progress to more specialized or higher-paying donation types as they build a reliable donation history. Tracking your donations and associated health metrics helps maximize long-term earning potential while maintaining your health.
