Peripheral Blood Products
To Streamline Your Cell-Based Assays
Peripheral blood (PB) is a rich source of human primary cells that retain key aspects of the tissue of origin and—compared to cell lines—are more reflective of donor variability, including human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type and cytomegalovirus (CMV) status. Increase the physiological relevance of your cell culture systems and generate data that is more predictive of in vivo outcomes by using human PB products in your research.
STEMCELL Technologies offers fresh collections from normal and diseased-state donors, including leukopaks, leukocyte reduction system (LRS) cones, and whole peripheral blood—ideal starting materials for performing cell isolation using manual or automated immunomagnetic, column-free EasySep™ cell isolation kits. We also provide ready-to-use, cryopreserved products including leukopaks and purified PB cells such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), isolated immune cell subsets, dendritic cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and disease-state cells, eliminating the need for cell isolation.
Why Choose Peripheral Blood Products from STEMCELL Technologies?
STEMCELL has a comprehensive collection of ethically sourced, cryopreserved or fresh PB primary cell products* to support your research needs. Ensure continuity in your research and start experiments according to your schedule with a reliable supply of high-quality, donor-specific primary cells that are ready to use upon receipt, with guaranteed viability and purity documented in the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA).

Everything You Need to Know About Cell Isolation
Mastering the basic techniques of cell isolation is a valuable skill for any cell biologist. Depending on the intended downstream application for the isolated cells, scientists should consider the performance (i.e. purity and recovery) and efficiency of the cell separation method, as well as the viability and function of the isolated cells. Explore resources to help you choose a cell separation method that meets your research needs while reducing experimental complexity.
