Peripheral blood leukopaks from BioIVT contain a significant number of cells from a single donor. They can be cryopreserved for convenient study scheduling, or they can be delivered fresh within 24 hours to specific locations.
Details
BioIVT offers direct access to fresh, donor-derived standard leukopaks all throughout Europe within as little as 24 hours. This expanded capacity allows the company to ship fresh leukopaks to more European partners while ensuring the highest quality and cell viability, maintaining critical cell subpopulations with low contamination.
BioIVT provides clients in the US and the UK with fresh LEUKOMAX® leukopak units from healthy, normal human donors, as well as cryopreserved LEUKOMAX leukopak units to clients worldwide.
Compared to conventional blood collection techniques, peripheral blood leukopaks have larger numbers of mononuclear cells, B cells, T cells, stem/progenitor cells, dendritic cells, and other cell types. When a single donor is required to provide a high number of cells, they are especially helpful. The Spectra Optia® Apheresis System is utilized for the collection of all leukopak products.
