A method of preparing a blood platelet lysate starting from platelet-rich
plasma from whole blood of animals, to which blood a citrate has been
added to prevent coagulation, is described. The method is characterised
by concentrating the platelet-rich plasma by ultrafiltration to obtain a
plasma that is richer in platelets, adding water for lysis of the
platelets included, adding Ca.sup.2+ to the lysed concentrated
platelet-rich plasma for forming coagel of other components than lysed
platelets, centrifuging the coagel, whereby a clear, bright-red liquid of
blood platelet lysate is obtained, which substantially consists of lysed
platelets, and a coagulate, and, after centrifugation, the liquid going
through a filtering step.
