Perform A Platelet Swirling Test
Even though this is a noninvasive test, ensure universal precautions are taken and wear the proper personal protective equipment.
- Turn on a 50 to 100 watt white light source.
- Hold the bag of Platelet Rich Plasma horizontally, approximately 12-30 inches away from the light.
- Gently move the bag with your fingers so the PRP is in motion in front of the light.
- In the thin areas of the PRP bag, observe the appearance of the unit for swirling.
- Record results as seen.
Results of a Platelet Swirling test are recorded as positive or extensive swirl, moderate or intermediate swirl, and absent or negative swirl.

“Any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but information—hence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
