Frequently Asked Questions
How do REIN PRP tubes compare to Regenlab or T-Lab tubes?
REIN PRP tubes are CE Class IIB certified and utilise high-grade 3.13% Sodium Citrate in an ISO Class 8 cleanroom facility. Unlike some systems (like Regenlab often using gel), REIN tubes are typically gel-free, potentially reducing contamination risk. We focus on providing a high-quality, reliable, and validated system for clinical PRP preparation.
What centrifuge settings should I use with REIN PRP Tubes?
However, always validate settings based on your specific centrifuge model and desired PRP characteristics. Consult your centrifuge manual or our technical support.
Are REIN PRP Tubes CE certified?
Yes, REIN PRP Tubes are certified CE Class IIB by Notified Body (2195), adhering to the EU Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. We maintain rigorous quality control and validation.
What is the shelf life of REIN PRP Tubes?
REIN PRP Tubes have a 24-month shelf life from the date of manufacture when stored correctly. Check the expiry date on the packaging.
What is the sodium citrate concentration?
How much PRP yield can I expect?
Yield depends on patient factors and protocol, but REIN tubes are designed to achieve a 4-6 times concentration of platelets compared to baseline whole blood, providing potent PRP for therapeutic use.
Are the tubes compatible with all centrifuge types?
REIN PRP Tubes fit standard 10ml tube holders in most medical centrifuges. We recommend using a centrifuge with compatible buckets/adapters and verifying fit. Contact us if you have compatibility questions.
