I don’t believe there is a limit (the gentleman next to me donating plasma today seemed to be in his 70s?), but there is an age minimum. Best check with CBS though, since the eligibility for plasma donation was interestingly quite different from that of whole blood. My plasma collection specialist today was explaining to me that for example, certain illnesses that bind to red blood cells may make someone ineligible to donate whole blood (e.g. malaria), but it might not necessarily disqualify them from being able to donate plasma.
The recovery time for plasma is also drastically shorter than for whole blood, which was very cool for me.
