Human Platelet Lysate (hPL)

Human Platelet Lysate (hPL), also known as human platelet lysate or platelet lysate, is a xeno-free solution derived from human platelets. By lysing platelets, a rich mix of growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules is released. These components support cell growth, regeneration, and tissue repair. As a result, Human Platelet Lysate (hPL) is a strong alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in both research and clinical applications.

More and more laboratories choose human platelet lysate because it is safe, reproducible, and ethically responsible. You work without animal-derived components and use a product designed for modern cell culture applications.

What is Human Platelet Lysate (hPL)?

Human Platelet Lysate is a lysate of human platelets used as a serum replacement in cell culture media. It contains natural growth factors that support cell proliferation and viability. This makes hPL especially suitable for sensitive cell types and applications where consistent performance is critical.

Unlike FBS, platelet lysate is xeno-free. This means it contains no animal-derived components. This makes hPL highly relevant for applications where safety, regulatory compliance, and traceability are essential.

Why choose human platelet lysate?

Human platelet lysate from Bodinco offers clear advantages compared to FBS. It shows lower batch-to-batch variability and often requires a lower concentration in culture media. It also supports faster cell growth, improving overall culture efficiency.

Key benefits of hPL include:

• Xeno-free
• Low batch variability
• Lower required concentration in cell culture media
• Faster cell growth
• Suitable for clinical and research applications
• Better alignment with ethical and regulatory requirements

For laboratories looking for a reliable alternative to FBS, human platelet lysate is a logical choice.

Key features of hPL

The offered human platelet lysate is developed with a strong focus on quality, safety, and consistency. You receive a product suitable for professional cell culture and research environments.

Features:

• 100 percent EU voluntary donors
• No heparin required
• Pathogen inactivated
• Closed production system
• Full control by the Belgian Red Cross
• Reliable supply
• Suitable for clinical and research use

These characteristics make hPL suitable for laboratories with high requirements for traceability and reproducibility.

Applications of Human Platelet Lysate

Human Platelet Lysate is widely used in cell culture and regenerative research. It supports a broad range of cell types and is often used in projects focused on cell growth and stability.

Typical applications include:

• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
• T cells
• Endothelial cells
• iPSCs
• Fibroblasts
• Other sensitive cell types

Due to its composition of growth factors and bioactive molecules, platelet lysate performs particularly well where standard serum is less effective.

Human platelet lysate media for optimal performance

Not all media respond in the same way to hPL. Choosing the correct medium is important for optimal performance. Specific media are recommended for effective use of human platelet lysate.

Lysantum Premium

Lysantum Premium is suitable for low calcium media, such as:

DMEM/F-12
IMDM
Ham’s F-12
RPMI-1640

This option is suitable for applications that require a carefully controlled cell environment.

Lysantum Ultra

Lysantum Ultra is suitable for most common media, such as:

DMEM
DMEM/F-12
aMEM
IMDM
Ham’s F-12

This provides broad compatibility across different cell culture workflows.

Human Platelet Lysate as an alternative to FBS

Many laboratories look for an alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum. Human Platelet Lysate offers a strong solution. It is xeno-free, better aligned with human cell systems, and often delivers improved culture performance.

Where FBS has long been the standard, hPL provides a modern solution for research and clinical development. You work with a human-derived product, reduced batch variability, and a composition that better reflects human biology.

Who is Human Platelet Lysate suitable for?

Human Platelet Lysate is suitable for research institutions, biotech companies, pharmaceutical developers, and laboratories working in cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and advanced cell culture applications.
