History

Established in 1950.

In 1950, Dr. Jose Antonio Grifols Jr. was an early pioneer of the plasmapheresis technique, the process of extracting human plasma. This technique was embraced by the global medical community and remains one of the most frequently used plasma extraction processes. The donation process, or plasmapheresis, takes as little as 90 minutes and is performed using automatic equipment and other sterile, non-​reusable materials in a plasma donation center. Collecting plasma is the first step in the process of making specialized protein therapies. We rely on individuals to donate their plasma to provide source material for protein therapies.
