The hourglass is the only physical solution to the platelet separation issue.
Fill
The lateral port is used to carefully insert the blood sample (25 ml). It is also where, after centrifugation, you collect the quantity of desired plasma to produce the final formula.
The central port is the device's most ingenious feature allowing to concentrate the buffy-coat in 0,1 ml to 0,2 ml volume. By twisting the lower chamber counterclockwise, the red blood cells are hermetically isolated from the rest of the plasma.
Spin
Platelets need to be handled with utmost care. The centrifuge step is critical in this respect. For optimal performance, we recommend the high-end TD5 centrifuge machine. It is so efficient that only 3 minutes are needed.
The machine is suitable for gentle, gradual centrifugation. Samples are placed horizontally during spinning, thus benefitting from the full centrifuge force – an option not available with a 45° rotor.
The device is controlled by a microprocessor with digital display and touchscreen technology. The cover has an automatic lock and protection against overheating and imbalance. Its performance is ultra-fast and noiseless. The high-grade stainless steel casing is safe and reliable. CE Marking, ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 approved.
Two Pathways
The WorldPRP tube is designed by a doctor for doctors. That's why it has unparalleled versatility to handle every clinical situation: those - the majority - requiring a lot of volume, and those that demand a certain concentration, i.e. platelets in a smaller volume.
