A fibrin sealant prepared by the method comprising: contacting a first portion of a platelet rich plasma, wherein the platelet rich plasma is isolated from an individual to whom the fibrin sealant is to be applied and then separated into the first portion and a second portion, with a defined volume of a thrombin sample; wherein the thrombin sample is prepared from the second portion of the platelet rich plasma by reactivating the second portion to form a clot, and triturating the clot to form a serum comprising the thrombin sample; preparing the fibrin sealant as a result of the contacting of the first portion of the platelet rich plasma with the defined volume of thrombin; wherein preparation time of the fibrin sealant is dependent on the defined volume of the thrombin sample combined with the first portion of the platelet rich plasma such that the more defined volume of the thrombin sample is added the quicker the time for preparing the fibrin sealant and wherein the sealant is prepared in under two minutes.
