How to Isolate PBMCs from Whole Blood Using Density Gradient Centrifugation (Ficoll™ or Lymphoprep™)

This technical guide demonstrates how to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells from whole blood using density gradient centrifugation

This step-by-step technical guide demonstrates how to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from whole blood using density gradient centrifugation (e.g. Ficoll-Paque™ or Lymphoprep™). See how to layer blood over the density medium and learn two different ways of harvesting cells from the blood plasma:density medium interface. Learn how SepMate™ tubes can speed up and simplify your density gradient centrifugation. After isolating PBMCs, you can isolate highly purified cell subsets using the EasySep™ magnetic cell separation.
