Official title:

| Study type | Interventional |
This is a device study in some respects, in that specialized centrifuges are commonly used to make platelet rich plasma, and we are studying the use of standard laboratory equipment to do so. However, it is primarily interventional in that we will evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method.

| Primary | Platelet Concentration Ability After 8 Hours of Training. | Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations. | 8 Hours After Onset of Training | No |
| Secondary | Retention of Platelet Concentration Ability At One Month. | Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations performed 30 days or longer after the training day. | Minimum 30 days after training day. | No |
