By me having sickle cell trait, can I donate my plasma

By saying TRAIT I take that to mean you do not CARRY it, but have the trait.

You can donate blood if you have sickle cell trait. However, all blood is currently filtered to help prevent reactions in the recipient. Blood with sickle cell trait does not filter well. We encourage donors with sickle cell trait to donate plasma or platelet apheresis. These two types do not get filtered.
