HI Guys
i am a bit confused on PRF & CGF (sticky bone),mostly the RPM & time to prepare for sticky bone.
I understand A-PRF (PRF membrane) is 1300 rpm at 8 minutes (red tube), is the CGF (sicky bone0 is i-PRF which is red tube at 7oo RPM for 3 minutes then mixed with allograft? I understand each centrifuge has its own settings!
Can someone clarify & explain in detail on how either one being prepared (does anyone know about the white & green cap blood tubes ( i believe they have anti-coagulant and are mostly used for PRP?

Hey! There’s a lot of info out there so it can get a bit confusing with all the different protocols. each centrifuge does have its own settings, which can make things tricky.
For A-PRF (membrane), I use 1300 rpm for 8 minutes with a red tube. For CGF (sticky bone), you’re on the right track! Usually, i-PRF is prepared at 700 rpm for 3 minutes, and then just mix it with an allograft to create the sticky consistency.
As for the tubes, the white and green caps do often contain anticoagulants and are more commonly used for PRP rather than PRF or CGF, since you don’t want clotting for PRP but do need it for PRF-related applications.
Hope that helps 😁
