Plasma Donation

ZLB Plasma Services operates 44 blood plasma centers in the US.

ZLB recently merged or bought out Avent-bioservices in the US. However, the current bio-services locations in the US will continue to operate under the Bio-services name.

According to this large conglomerate, Aventis Bio-Services and ZLB Plasma Services’ merging will allow ZLB to better serve the donors and the patients who depend on plasma therapies
