Concentrated Growth Factor Matrices Prepared Using Silica-Coated Plastic Tubes Are Distinguishable From Those Prepared Using Glass Tubes in Platelet Distribution: Application of a Novel Near-Infrared Imaging-Based, Quantitative Technique

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrices were originally prepared using plain glass tubes without the aid of coagulation factors because coagulation factor XII is activated by glass surfaces. Recently, the use of silica-coated plastic tubes as a substitute of glass tubes has been recommended for PRF prep...
