PBMC Isolation

Analysing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) offers a comprehensive assessment of the immune system’s response to treatment, highlighting their crucial role in clinical trial sample analysis. The accuracy and reliability of data generated from assays that utilise PBMCs hinge on the prompt collection, skilled isolation, handling, and storage of samples.

Expertise With
PBMC Isolation:

Experienced in Various Isolation Techniques

Our expertise includes transitional density gradient underlay, SepMate™, LeucoSep™, and CPT™. Our extensive SOP list has over 50 custom methods.

Quality Assurance

Accreditation by Australia’s National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) and participation in external and internal proficiency programs ensures consistent, high-quality isolation of PBMCs.

Flexibility

Our onsite phlebotomists ensure we can provide donor whole blood for study-specific proficiency testing, and our comprehensive immunology profiling services allow for downstream assay support or shipment of PBMCs to a client’s selected laboratory.
