The Impact of PBMC Isolation Precision on Study Outcomes
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are a fundamental component of many important fields of study, such as immunology, and are central to modern treatment strategies like CAR T-cell therapy1,2. These cells are also used for drug screening, diagnostics, and biomarker discovery, however, variations in PBMC isolation and processing can significantly impede research efforts. Almost all […]
Meet the expert: The Importance of Automated PBMC isolation
In this discussion, Product Marketing Manager, Haris Choudhery, PhD met with Cellular Services expert Jennifer Moore, PhD, to discuss the importance of correctly automating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Haris Choudhery (HC): Talk us through why it’s so important to get PBMC isolation done correctly and what downstream applications it leads to Jennifer Moore (JM): […]
iPSC Quality Control: 4 Important Reasons for Robust Control
iPSC Quality Control The field of regenerative medicine has seen remarkable advancements with the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), offering new and unprecedented opportunities for disease modeling, drug discovery, and personalized therapeutic applications. However, generating iPSCs is a complex, time consuming process, that requires stringent quality control measures to ensure the reproducibility and […]
How the NINDS stem cell collection is advancing research into neurological disorders
Who are NINDS? The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) was established in 1950 and is a part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system to reduce the burden of neurological disease for all people. NINDS aims to provide […]
iPSC Reprogramming Services for Research
In the last several years iPSC reprogramming services from cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has become increasingly common among researchers and pharmaceutical companies. The process of iPSC generation involves the reprogramming of a mature, terminally differentiated cell into a pluripotent one, which has the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the […]
