Human plasma serves to suspend and transport red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets throughout the body. It also contains essential components such as water, salts, enzymes, antibodies, and clotting factors like albumin and fibrinogen.
- Matched Plasma can additionally be requested with PBMC discovery. PBMC discovery includes comprehensive donor information, including:
- Demographics
- Serology
- HLA class I and II characterization
- FCGR3A polymorphisms
- Smoking status
- Haematological analysis pre- and post-thaw
- Medications
Our offerings encompass distinct options tailored to meet diverse research requirements. These options include PBMCs sourced from our existing inventory, which are further categorized into three groups, each offering unique features and application possibilities. We also provide PBMCs from prospective collections, ensuring flexibility and suitability for various research needs.
Storage: For prolonged cell preservation or resuscitation, it is recommended to prepare the cells for extended storage in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. Storage of cells in the liquid phase of nitrogen is strongly discouraged to prevent potential cross-contamination risks when removing from storage. Long-term storage under −175 °C and for short-term storage, about one or two weeks at −80 °C is permitted, but it is recommended to minimise this duration to ensure optimal stability. Thawed samples should be used immediately and not stored.
