The usefulness and efficiency of PBMC studies should not be overlooked. The increased use of these immune mononuclear cells as a promising indicator of drug efficacy in clinical trials as well as the increased convenience of working with samples versus conducting testing makes PBMCs crucial. At Cerba Research we embrace the potential of PBMC activities to maximize impact in clinical research.

To keep up with rising clinical research demand we perform various PBMC activities like isolation from whole blood samples and DNA extraction using advanced technologies and equipment.

  • PBMC isolation on a global scale
  • Harmonized SOP/QC and instrumentation
  • Utilize Density Grade Centrifugation (DCG) with CPT® tubes
  • For use in immunology, infectious disease, hematological malignancies, vaccine development, transplant therapy, personalized medicine, and toxicology.
  • At Cerba Research, we can also efficiently isolate BMMCs for your clinical trials. We have done so on numerous occasions, mostly for hematological malignancy trials.

Harmonized SOPs on a global scale for PBMCs isolation, cryopreservation, and storage ensuring high viability and recovery
