A growth factor-rich cell culture supplement called human platelet lysate is made from healthy donor human platelets at blood facilities that are approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada. To reduce lot-to-lot variability, several donor units are pooled together during the production process. To prevent coagulation, an anticoagulant must be added. A supplement for cell culture growth made from human platelets is called human platelet lysate (HPL). By removing xenogeneic concerns and the spread of bovine prions, replacing foetal bovine serum (FBS) with HPL enables the increase and possible clinical grade production of stem cells. The human platelet lysate supplements for cell culture offer great cell performance and repeatable results. They are standardized and safe. Numerous experimental and clinical research projects have benefited from the development of human platelet lysates. Functional capacities are unaffected by human platelet lysates. Human blood-derived substances such as plasma, serum, umbilical cord blood serum, and platelet derivatives such platelet lysates can be used instead of FBS. Human platelet lysates have several uses, including biotechnology and pharmaceutical medication breakthrough therapy research, development, and production.
Market Dynamics
Increasing adoption of inorganic strategies by key players in market such as acquisitions is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, BioLife Solutions, a biotechnology company, announced the acquisition of sexton biotechnologies, a biotechnology company, to expand cell and gene therapy tools portfolio. Sexton's bio production tools portfolio includes proprietary closed vials for cell therapy final dose packaging, human platelet lysate (HPL) media, a bio-defined replacement for fetal bovine serum or human serum used in cell manufacturing, and automated cell processing machines.
