Table.

A brief, quick, and focused summary of this study

What is known on this topic?

  • A survey from ISTH survey found that 78% of all laboratories prepare PRP by centrifuging whole blood at 150 × g for 10 minutes

  • There is a lack of data regarding the optimal method of centrifugation spin
What this paper adds?

  • This study demonstrated the importance of centrifugation speed in the interpretation of light transmission aggregometry

  • Higher centrifugation speed was associated with lower percent aggregation

  • This data supports the need for standardization of centrifugation RCF in light transmission protocols
