Abstract

The yields of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained by centrifugation of CPD (citrate-phosphate-dextrose) blood and ACD (acid-citrate-phosphate) blood were compared. The volumes of PRP from 5 ml blood in test tubes and 200 ml blood in bags were larger by 4% and 4.5%, respectively, when CPD was used as an anticoagulant. In addition, the number of platelets in PRP from CPD blood was higher than that from ACD blood. These data suggest that the optimal centrifugal condition for CPD blood should be different from that for ACD blood.
