In this study, we focused on the possibility of spectrophotometric determination and validated the applicability of the proposed method on platelet counts in PRP preparations. This idea was based on bacterial cell counting [12] and a similar challenge was reported in 1992 [13]. However, this optical method has not been further modified for PRP as a grafting material for regenerative therapy in accordance with the policy of quality assurance. Based on the count of white blood cells (WBCs) and red blood cells (RBCs) included in PRP preparations, we categorized PRP preparations into two types as follows: pure PRP (P-PRP) and leukocyte-rich PRP (L-PRP) [14,15,16]. As not only platelets but also WBCs are concentrated in L-PRP, we hypothesized that the inclusion of WBCs at higher levels could markedly interfere with this spectrophotometric determination. As predicted, we validated the applicability of our proposed method by precisely determining platelet counts in P-PRP, but not L-PRP.

- Fig. 2. The appearance of blood sampled after gravity fractionation and the resulting P-PRP and L-PRP. In the first low-speed spin, samples were centrifuged for 10 min at 533×g. For P-PRP preparation, the upper plasma fraction, which was 2 mm beyond the interface between plasma and RBC fractions, was transferred into sample tubes for the second high-speed spin (2656×g, 5 min). In contrast, for L-PRP preparation, the upper plasma fraction including the buffy coat and the surface of the RBC fraction was used for the second spin. The supernatant (PPP) was excluded by 50–70%, and platelets were resuspended in the remaining PPP fraction : Spectrophotometric determination of platelet count
