Always short staffed I mean ALWAYS!!!! Rules policies and hours Always changing. Takes forever to get stuck and even longer to get UNSTUCK. Money takes a long time to hit my card. Twice it was a lesser amount then what it should have been. read more

They are the best in the state! A donor is typically out within 2 hours! I would say schedule and avoid walk-in appointment. read more

BioLife Plasma Services - Donor floor - Blood & Plasma Donation Centers Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

I have been donating plasma at BioLife State College for several years now and the staff has always been very informative and helpful. Every time I visit, I get treated respectfully and w/ due attention during the entire screening and donating process. The facility is very clean and well kept and they have become a solid business partner to the State College community. Thanks, BioLife State College. S. Comly read more

I've been donating here for about 4 months. I come consistently twice a week. The medical field needs plasma and I get paid for my time so it's a win win. This facility is always clean and efficient. I'm usually in and out in exactly one hour. Monthly bonuses vary but at a minimum you make $280/month currently. The biggest downside is the lack of parking. I don't mind that it's downtown but I hate paying for parking on the street or the parking garage. read more

I was a couple minutes late and they refused to take me. But the people behind me were 20 minutes early and they were okay to go through. This place is ridiculous. They beg people to donate their plasma and then when we try to they are so rude to us and make it virtually impossible to do so. I'm a college student really hurting for money and I drove all the way up here to be denied because I was a couple minutes late (due to the insane traffic downtown). I wish there was another center close by because this one is terrible. Mind you, I was waiting in line to be checked in while the employee was gossiping to her friend. read more

I have been donating blood and plasma for over 10 years. At BioLife they couldn't even find the veins and when they did they said that they were too small. This was new. Plus, the nurse was rude and didn't smile once. Really disappointed. read more

I have had noting but awful experiences here. To start off, the staff up front had no idea what they were doing. I waited for over 30 minutes before someone remembered that I was waiting to begin the process. Then I had to meet with a nurse who was in a foul mood to start. She was rude, judgemental, and stood at the door gossiping with another nurse for quite a while with me just sitting in the office hearing everything they said. Not a good first impression hearing staff talking about how shitty this place is and how horrible management is. And keep in mind those were the words from the nurses. After the physical portion I moved on and finally went to donate. I was given a male employee who barely spoke to me, didn't explain much, but was very much concerned about what the other employees were doing. I had a question during the process and couldn't seem to get anyone to come help me out and felt as if I was inconveniencing him when he did come over. I heard a lot of talk while donating as well. Two male employees were talking about how another employee was making a lot of mistakes and bad mourning this person. Overall, the staff is unprofessional, they seem as though they don't care about the donors as much as just getting them in and out. I would not recommend this location. read more

I haven't had any issues with the place. They take you in the first time and give you a physical, screen you, etc. The staff has been overall quite friendly and you get compensated in the form of 70$ per week. I've had a few hiccups with an issue with one of my veins sometimes due to hydration but the staff as long as you inform them of your discomfort will act immediately based on the level of your need. If someone obviously needs more help due to a complication then they need to be taken care of first and they do a very good job of giving people the attention they need as well as making sure guests understand that they can always ask questions and/or raise concern. read more

I started selling my plasma again. I have a love/hate relationship with this place. It's good money for the little time you put into it. The downtown location makes it nice for the students. The facility is clean and inviting. However, the technicians sometimes lack a personality and they can become quite gossipy in the the donation room. I personally like the older techs because they seem to take their jobs a bit more seriously. So far, I've been able to go on a small vacation with the money I've made from selling plasma. read more
