One part is used to release the growth factors. This is then combined with the other whole platelet factors. This is called as centrifugation. After that, increased concentration of the platelets is combined with the remaining blood. 35 ml of the peripheral venous blood is withdrawn in the 9ml tube that contains 3.8% of the sodium citrate. PRP was generally prepared by the centrifugations at 580 g. Most of the physician uses the Refrigerated CM-*8 plus centrifuge for the maximum concentration of the PRP. It requires 8 minutes at the room temperature. The 2 c.c.plasma fraction is placed just above the sedimented RBC. The sterile tube is used to collect the Buffy coat. This is done under the vertical air flow conditions. After that 10% of the calcium chloride is added to the final concentration of 22.8 mm before the IA injection. 5 ml of high-quality PRP is prepared. PRP injection is prepared in the two spin cycles. After the first spin cycle, it is transferred to the sterile tube. And start the second spin cycle in the centrifugation in order to get the maximum concentration of the platelets.
