Plasma donation and covid-19 are two very different types of blood banking. Both involve the collection of plasma from a patient who has donated plasma to a plasma banking facility. While plasma donation involves the collection of plasma through a different method than that used in plasma cord blood banking, both stem cells and plasma are used in these processes. However, while plasma donation and covid-19 may be done at the same place of the hospital, it is generally less expensive to collect plasma and store it in a separate facility.
