Avian Camelid Equine Feline Canine


Assay Code AOT-068
Description A service provided under MBG-Stem is Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP). This is an exceptional way to treat joints and other injuries and interestingly it can be administered to the injured animal in conjunction with Stem cell therapy for a better outcome.

Platelet-rich plasma is a treatment widely used for humans and animals especially for orthopedic procedures. It is reported to increase healing properties by utilizing plasma rich in growth factors to activate tissue regeneration. In MBG our main clients are racing horses and camels that can benefit from the treatment, especially during the racing seasons.

Pathogens Tested
  • Camel
  • Equine

Method Differential Centrifugation.
Sample Type
2 syringes of 60 ml of Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) added whole blood. Before sending the sample for PRP preparation, contact the lab for a collection of syringes for blood collection.
Transport Condition Samples should be transported at 4°C and immediately delivered.
Turn Around Time (TAT) It is recommended that the time of blood collection to the time of injection of autologous PRP back into the animal should not exceed 4 hours.
