Abstract

This article provides additional knowledge for cord blood platelet gel (CBPG) production. Recently, it has been shown that CBPG exerts beneficial properties in wound healing applications. CBPG is produced after a two-step centrifugation process, following the addition of calcium gluconate. Clinical-grade CBPG can be produced in public cord blood banks, worldwide. However, standardization of the CBPG production process must be established in order to reduce discrepancies that occurred due to different platelet gel preparations. This article aims to provide an update regarding the selection criteria of cord blood units (CBUs), and to provide evidence for the improvement of the CBPG production process.
