CHOOSING STARTING MATERIAL

Isolated Cells vs PBMCs vs Leukopaks

Isolated cells, PBMCs, and leukopaks provide different levels of processing and cellular specificity.

Choosing the right starting material depends on whether your lab needs a ready-to-use cell population, a mixed mononuclear fraction, or larger starting material for downstream isolation.

Material Processing Level Cellular Scope Best Fit
Isolated Cells Targeted cell isolation completed Specific immune, stem, or progenitor population Targeted cellular assays and cell-specific research
PBMCs Mononuclear cell isolation completed Mixed lymphocyte and monocyte populations Immune profiling, mixed-cell assays, and downstream enrichment
Leukopaks Broad leukapheresis starting material Large white blood cell population Bulk isolation, larger cell requirements, and custom processing
Which option should you choose?

Isolated cells may be the best fit when the study requires a specific population ready for downstream research. PBMCs provide a mixed mononuclear population, while leukopaks provide larger starting material for laboratories performing their own isolation.

PRODUCT FORMAT

Fresh vs Cryopreserved Isolated Human Cells

Fresh and cryopreserved primary cells can support different experimental and operational requirements.

FRESH MATERIAL

Fresh Isolated Cells

Fresh cells may be preferred when research workflows require rapid use after collection or isolation and when experimental timing can be coordinated with sourcing.

CRYOPRESERVED MATERIAL

Cryopreserved Isolated Cells

Cryopreserved cells can provide greater scheduling flexibility, enable planned experimental time points, and allow researchers to access previously processed material.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Isolated Human Cells

What isolated human cell types does CGT Global offer?

CGT Global offers multiple primary human cell populations, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, PBMCs, CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, MSCs, and additional isolated populations depending on availability.

What starting materials are used for isolated cells?

Starting material may include peripheral blood, leukopaks, bone marrow, cord blood, or mobilized leukapheresis material depending on the target cell population.

What is the difference between isolated cells and PBMCs?

PBMCs contain a mixed mononuclear population including lymphocytes and monocytes. Isolated cell products provide a more targeted cell population such as CD4+ T cells, NK cells, monocytes, or CD34+ cells.

What is the difference between isolated cells and leukopaks?

Leukopaks are broad leukapheresis starting material that can be processed into PBMCs or selected immune cell populations. Isolated cells have already undergone targeted cell separation before use.

Can I request a custom isolated cell population?

Yes. CGT Global can evaluate custom isolation projects based on the target cell population, starting material, cell quantity, donor criteria, processing requirements, and study timeline.

Can I request isolated cells from a specific donor profile?

Projects can be evaluated for selected donor characteristics, disease states, demographics, starting material, and other study-specific criteria.

Are isolated cells available fresh or cryopreserved?

Fresh and cryopreserved isolated cell products may be available depending on the cell type, source material, product, and current sourcing options.

Does CGT Global offer bulk isolated cell lots?

CellsExpress supports larger single-donor bulk isolation projects for selected cell populations and can provide multiple cryopreserved vials from the same donor and isolation.
