A Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Tube is a specialized medical blood collection tube engineered to safely extract, separate, and prepare platelet-rich plasma for clinical use. Unlike standard serum tubes or EDTA tubes, PRP tubes contain formulation components that protect platelet morphology, maintain viability, and allow clean separation during centrifugation.
The IPPOCARE Classic PRP Tube (ACD-A + Separation Gel) is specifically designed for:
- Aesthetic dermatology
- Facial rejuvenation
- Hair restoration
- Microneedling
- Regenerative procedures
- Orthopedic & sports medicine PRP
- Dental and surgical wound healing
These applications require consistent platelet concentration, clean separation, and a barrier that prevents contamination with red and white blood cells.

What Makes a Medical-Grade PRP Tube Different?
High-quality PRP tubes use carefully calibrated components to ensure the viability, purity, and concentration of platelets.
Key components inside a PRP tube:
👉 ACD-A Anticoagulant
ACD-A (Acid Citrate Dextrose Solution A) prevents premature platelet activation during blood draw.
Benefits of ACD-A:
- Preserves platelet morphology
- Protects growth factor integrity
- Prevents clotting before centrifugation
- Ensures stable platelet yield
This anticoagulant is essential for producing PRP suitable for aesthetic and regenerative medicine.
👉 Separation Gel
The high-density gel forms a physical barrier between plasma and erythrocytes during centrifugation.
The gel ensures:
- Clean, distinct PRP layer
- Minimal RBC contamination
- Easy extraction
- Consistent platelet yield
IPPOCARE’s gel density is calibrated for PRP centrifugation speeds (1,800–2,000 RCF), ensuring optimal separation.
👉 Vacuum Level
Each tube is vacuum-calibrated to ensure a precise blood draw volume.
Why this matters:
- Maintains optimal blood-to-additive ratio
- Prevents platelet deformation
- Ensures stability during handling
👉 Medical-Grade Tube Material
IPPOCARE uses PET medical-grade plastic or glass options engineered to be shatter-resistant and chemically stable.
How PRP Tubes Work (Step-by-Step)
When blood enters the PRP tube, the ACD-A anticoagulant stabilizes it immediately, preventing clot formation.
During centrifugation:
- The separation gel rises to create a stable barrier
- The PRP layer remains above the gel
- Red and white blood cells remain below
- Plasma stays clean and easily extractable
This ensures:
✔ High platelet concentration
✔ Minimal RBC/WBC contamination
✔ Consistent results for clinical procedures
Recommended centrifugation settings:
- 1,800–2,000 RCF
- 8–10 minutes (depending on centrifuge model)
Clinical uses of the processed PRP:
- Facial rejuvenation
- Acne scar improvement
- Hair regrowth
- Orthopedic tendon/joint repair
- Dental and surgical healing
- Sexual wellness treatments
- Skin regeneration and microneedling
