PRP sets for medical professionals
PRP starter sets, professional sets and practice packs for structured PRP workflows
In this category, medical professionals will find preconfigured PRP sets for the professional preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP. Depending on the set, they include PRP tubes, a suitable centrifuge, blood collection accessories, sterile syringes, needles and other consumables for practices, clinics or laboratories.
The sets support structured material supply for PRP workflows. Selection and use depend on intended purpose, instructions for use, device configuration, tube format and the internal standards of the respective medical facility.
With centrifuge
PRP starter set
For facilities that want to purchase a basic setup with device and consumables. Examples include sets with Hettich EBA 200 MD or SERVOspin Evolve, provided tube format, rotor and manufacturer information fit the planned workflow.
Without centrifuge
PRP professional set
For practices that already have a compatible centrifuge and mainly need consumables. Typical components include PRP tubes, needles, syringes and blood collection material.
Predictable use
Vi PRP-PRO practice pack
For facilities that regularly use the same tube type. The practice pack bundles several packaging units and supports material planning in daily practice.
Which PRP set fits which requirement?
If a practice wants to purchase a centrifuge and consumables together, a PRP starter set with centrifuge is the obvious option. The PRP starter set with Hettich EBA 200 MD includes a class IIa medical device centrifuge and selected consumables for professional use.
If a suitable centrifuge is already available, a PRP professional set or a practice pack with PRP tubes may be more appropriate. In that case, consumables such as Vi PRP-PRO tubes, sterile syringes, needles and blood collection accessories are the focus.
The set name alone is not decisive. Before use, professionals should check whether tube volume, rotor holder, RCF, anticoagulant, separation gel, sterility, CE marking and the instructions for use of the individual components fit together.
This set combines a Hettich EBA 200 MD centrifuge with PRP tubes and selected consumables. The EBA 200 MD is specified as a class IIa medical device centrifuge. Tube format, rotor, speed and manufacturer information should be checked before use.
Starter set with SERVOspin Evolve
The SERVOspin Evolve set is designed as a preconfigured combination for PRP workflows in practices and laboratories. It combines a technically compatible laboratory centrifuge with PRP-suitable consumables.
Vi PRP-PRO practice pack
The practice pack contains 40 sterile Vi PRP-PRO tubes, 9 ml each, made of borosilicate glass. The tubes contain sodium citrate as anticoagulant and a thixotropic separation gel. According to product information, they are class IIa medical devices with CE marking under MDR.
PRP professional set
The PRP professional set bundles consumables such as Vi PRP-PRO tubes, needles, a safety blood collection set, Luer adapter and sterile disposable syringes. It is suitable for facilities already working with an appropriate centrifuge.
Typical components of a PRP set
Depending on the version, PRP sets may contain PRP tubes, a centrifuge, blood collection sets, Luer adapters, sterile syringes, needles and additional practice accessories. The exact composition should always be checked in the respective product description.
For PRP tubes, technical information such as fill volume, tube material, anticoagulant, separation gel, sterility, storage conditions, CE marking and medical device class is relevant. These details affect compatibility with the existing workflow and centrifuge.
In brief
A PRP starter set is a preconfigured combination of centrifuge, PRP tubes and consumables.
A PRP professional set is mainly aimed at facilities with an existing compatible centrifuge.
A practice pack supports predictable consumption of PRP tubes during daily practice operation.
Centrifuge and PRP tubes must technically fit together
For PRP sets with a centrifuge, coordination between device, rotor and tubes is particularly important. RPM alone is not sufficient for assessment. The actual force applied to the sample is determined by the relative centrifugal force, RCF.
Two centrifuges can generate different RCF values at the same RPM. Professionals should therefore check rotor radius, rotor holder, tube format, fill volume and manufacturer information before using a workflow in routine practice.
Standard formula:
RCF = 1,118 × 10-5 × r × RPM2
r = rotor radius in cm, RPM = revolutions per minute.
Check sets with centrifuge
For sets with a centrifuge, device, rotor, tube format and RCF should be considered together. Identical RPM does not automatically mean identical centrifugal force.
Check sets without centrifuge
For sets without a centrifuge, the facility is responsible for device compatibility. Rotor holder, tube dimensions, permitted speed and manufacturer information are decisive.
Check tubes and additives
Depending on the version, PRP tubes may contain sodium citrate, ACD-A, separation gel or no additives. These differences are relevant for intended purpose, storage and workflow.
Frequently asked questions about PRP sets
What is a PRP starter set?
A PRP starter set is a preconfigured combination of materials for PRP workflows. Depending on the version, it contains a centrifuge, PRP tubes, blood collection material, sterile syringes, needles and further accessories.
What is the difference between a PRP starter set and a PRP professional set?
A PRP starter set often also contains a centrifuge and is suitable for building a material and device setup. A PRP professional set focuses more on consumables and usually requires an existing compatible centrifuge.
When is a Vi PRP-PRO practice pack useful?
A practice pack is useful when a facility regularly works with Vi PRP-PRO tubes and wants to keep tube consumption more predictable in daily practice operation.
Are PRP sets compatible with every centrifuge?
No. Tube dimensions, rotor holder, permitted speed, RCF, fill volume and manufacturer information for tube and centrifuge are decisive.
What does RCF mean for PRP sets with a centrifuge?
RCF describes the relative centrifugal force. This value is more meaningful than RPM alone because it takes the rotor radius into account.
What role do syringes and needles play in a PRP set?
Depending on the set, syringes and needles are consumables used around blood collection, preparation and further processing. Selection depends on product compatibility, workflow and professional requirements.
Who may use PRP sets?
PRP sets are intended for qualified medical professionals. Responsibility for selection, use, documentation and compliance with applicable requirements lies with the treating facility.
