Platelet Separation From Whole Blood in an Aqueous Two-Phase System With Water-Soluble Polymers

Abstract.: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulates tissue healing and centrifugation is the only method for PRP preparation. The purpose of the present study was to develop a method to separate platelets without centrifugation. We used 16 polymers of different chemical characteristics and mixed each p...
