Pre-Analytical And PBMC Processing

Our PBMC Processing Services

Joined together, our capabilities and expertise guarantee customers a high level of quality from sample collection to processing, shipping, handling, storage and analysis worldwide.

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, cell & gene therapy and toxicology.

Brochure – What Are The Main Challenges And Questions To Overcome With PBMCs?

There are important questions you need to ask yourself and any potential laboratory partner before you start a study including PBMC assays as part of your protocol :

  • What PBMC methodology best fits your intended outcome and study?
  • Where do you want to run your study and at what scale?
  • What data are you looking to generate from your PBMC?

Your partner PBMC laboratory needs to be able to support you with their answers to all these challenges. Download our free brochure and discover how Cerba Research can help you answer these questions and help provide you with a global solution for all your PBMC needs.
