What Is a Leukopak?
A leukopak is a concentrated collection of white blood cells—including T-cells, B-cells, monocytes, and other immune cells—obtained through a specialized process called leukapheresis. These white blood cells play a critical role in the body’s defense against disease and are used in research aimed at developing therapies to treat conditions such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and cell-based and regenerative therapies.
Compensation for Your Leukopak Donation
We value the time, effort, and commitment involved in donating white blood cells through a leukopak donation. As a thank you for your contribution, we offer fair and immediate compensation to every eligible donor.
Payment is provided on-site after your donation is complete. There’s no waiting period—you’ll receive your compensation the same day.

- Leukopak Donation Appointment: Your visit begins with a full medical screening, followed by the leukapheresis procedure (approximate total time: 4 hours)

Please plan to spend 4 to 5 hours at the center on donation day.
