About Us


More than half (55 per cent) of the blood flowing through your veins is actually plasma. Plasma supports your immune system and helps other blood components (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) circulate through your body. This protein-rich, pale-yellow fluid has earned its nickname “liquid gold” because it can be transfused directly into patients in urgent situations, such as severe infection and excessive bleeding, or it can be manufactured into medications, like immunoglobulins

Thousands of patients in Canada depend on immunoglobulins to treat primary and secondary immunodeficiency, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, and other diseases with an immune origin.?Immunoglobulins are the most widely used medication made from plasma and demand for these lifesaving medications is growing in Canada and around the world.
