Platelet-rich plasma for tissue regeneration can be stored at room temperature for at least five days.

CONCLUSION: Although platelet integrity and PDGF-BB fell over time, the intermittently agitated non-oxygen permeable container appeared to retain better platelet integrity and function, and PDGF-BB release, than other storage conditions, with potential for clinical use for 5-8 days.
