TLDR The best speed for preparing platelet-rich plasma with PRPBAG® is 1800 rpm.
The study investigated the optimal centrifugal speed for preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using the PRPBAG® system, involving 120 healthy volunteers. It concluded that centrifugation at 1800 rpm for 10 minutes was optimal, achieving an approximately eightfold increase in platelet concentration, which was significantly higher than other speeds tested. Additionally, the mean white blood cell level was higher in this group. The findings suggested that the PRPBAG® system, with its optimal centrifugation protocol, could enhance the quality and quantity of PRP for various therapeutic applications.
