Blood

Mononuclear Cells (MNC) represent the lymphocyte and monocyte fraction isolated from peripheral blood. They are prepared by optimized low-density gradient centrifugation, which effectively reduces the granulocyte content. Red blood cells are gently but thoroughly depleted by proprietary techniques instead of osmotic lysis. This results in ultra-pure mononuclear cells with superior viability and unchanged biological function. In addition, the cells do not clump after thawing, allowing for easy handling and reproducible results.The MNC can be used directly for experiments or as a starting material for the isolation of several cell types, e.g., hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors, monocytes, and lymphocyte subpopulations.

Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of Mononuclear Cells. They are routinely characterized by flow cytometry analyzing a series of cellular parameters, e.g. viability, cell size, granularity. provides detailed information on the percentages of the major cellular sub-populations, i.e., the lymphocytes, the monocytes, and granulocytes, for each lot of Mononuclear Cells. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).

Although tested negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, the cells – like all products of human origin – should be handled as potentially infectious. No test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
