Figure 1: Quantification of platelets in EDTA-blood and inactivated platelet-rich plasma of minipigs.
Platelet number was measured in native blood plasma and PRP before activation (n=16) with the help of an automated cell counter. The box represents the 50% between 25% and 75% quartiles. The black line inside the box indicates the median. The top and bottom lines denote the 5 and 95 percentile, whereas the black crosses denote minimum and maximum values. **p<0.01 PRP versus blood.
