Simulated use was performed for 72 h with controlled drop dispensing. Bacterial contamination was assessed according to European Pharmacopoeia sterility testing principles. The biological activity of the eye drops was assessed using in vitro proliferation assays with primary human keratocytes (HKs) and human corneal epithelial cells (HCEs). Statistical analyses were performed to compare the effects of different storage conditions and application scenarios.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>No bacterial contamination was detected in platelet lysate eye drops stored under any of the conditions tested, regardless of simulated use. Proliferation assays showed that eye drops enhanced the growth of HK and HCE cells compared to the control medium. No significant differences in proliferation were observed between storage conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/strong>Platelet lysate eye drops maintain sterility and biological functionality when stored in BTI ophthalmic devices at \u2264-15 \u00b0C, 2-8 \u00b0C and RT for up to 72 h of simulated use. These results support the feasibility of using BTI eye drop devices in clinical settings while ensuring safety and efficacy.<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>PRGF; blood derivatives; eye drops; ophthalmic device; platelet-rich plasma.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Figures<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"qodef-image-gallery qodef-grid-list qodef-disable-bottom-space  qodef-ig-grid-type qodef-four-columns qodef-tiny-space  qodef-image-behavior-lightbox\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-inner qodef-outer-space\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/biomedicines-13-01105-g001.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-601]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1.&lt;\/strong&gt; Experimental workflow for preparation, simulated use, and evaluation (bacterial analysis and proliferation assay) of platelet lysate in BTI devices.
