Donating platelets takes from 2 to 3 hours from when you go in from when you leave. Sometimes more if the machines are slow that day. Has something to do with the heat and how much H20 the donors have in their systems.
The whole blood donations from entry to exit from the facility or blood mobile usually only take 20 minutes, if that.
