A recent peer-reviewed study evaluating PRP preparations produced with the XCELL 60 mL single-spin system reported an average of 10.8 billion total available platelets (TAPs) in the final PRP product.
But what does that number represent?
TAPs is calculated using the platelet concentration and final product volume, providing a measure of the total platelet dose available within the preparation after PRP processing.
In the study, 70 consecutive clinical samples from two independent sites produced an average TAP value of 10.8 billion platelets in a final volume of approximately 6 mL. The system also achieved an average platelet capture rate of 83% and an approximately eightfold increase in platelet concentration compared with baseline whole blood.
Platelet dose is only one characteristic of a PRP formulation. Researchers also evaluated platelet capture rate, red blood cell reduction, leukocyte composition, and final product volume to more completely characterize the resulting preparations.
The findings demonstrated consistent platelet recovery and the ability to produce PRP formulations with different leukocyte profiles using a single-spin processing approach.
