TLDR The best speed for preparing platelet-rich plasma with PRPBAG® is 1800 rpm.
This study investigated the optimal centrifugal speed for preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using the PRPBAG® system, involving 120 healthy volunteers. Participants were divided into three groups based on centrifugation speeds: 1600 rpm, 1800 rpm, and 2000 rpm. The results indicated that the 1800 rpm group achieved the highest mean white blood cell and platelet levels, with a significant eightfold increase in platelet concentration compared to the other groups. Therefore, 1800 rpm for 10 minutes was determined to be the optimal speed for PRP preparation with PRPBAG®.
