PBMC & BMMC - Cerba Research

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

Viability ≥97%

Post collection using CPTtubes , the average viability obtained is 99.3% after 4 hrs, 97.9% after 24 hrs, and 96.8% and 85.5% respectively post-thawing

Recovery ≥75%

After thawing the average recovery is 75%
