Fresh Human PBMCs (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells)
Research Donors provide researchers with high-viability, fresh human PBMC in partnership with Research Donors. The human PBMCs are isolated within 5 hours of blood collection for minimal degradation and are available for delivery on the same or next day after blood collection, depending on location, offering researchers access to fresh human PBMCs whenever your research demands.
Collections are based on each researchers' specific requirements, so the choice of volume, anticoagulant, shipment temperature and blood group is yours. We are now also able to offer HLA typing on request.
