Leukopaks

Research-grade and GMP-grade leukopaks, shipped directly to your lab
Customizable leukopaks from donor selection to delivery – fresh, cryopreserved, and mobilized leukopaks are collected from healthy or disease-state donors in our in-house apheresis center. Precision offers both Research-grade and GMP-grade leukopaks to meet your research applications.

High-quality starting material for your research is critical, and our teams follow strict IRB-approved protocols to ensure optimal cell yield, viability, and quality.

Leukopaks provide up to 100x more cells from the same donor than whole blood collections, minimizing donor variability for studies that require assay-to-assay consistency.

Curated Leukopaks for your research needs

The benefits of Precision leukopaks begin with our CLIA-certified, FDA-registered apheresis collection center, allowing for customization of your product from donor identification to delivery. Donor demographics, HLA type, and phenotype can be selected based on your criteria. Our in-house immunology laboratory allows for custom cellular processing of leukopaks into PBMCs, or other isolated cell lines upon request.

Choosing the right Leukopak for your research

  • Fresh Leukopaks

    These leukopaks are collected from healthy donors before being shipped fresh for swift use - eliminating the need for freezing or storing them.

    Because the cells are shipped fresh, they're used for short-term applications and experiments.

    Benefits


    • Get prompt shipments of cells ready for isolation
    • Eliminate the need to freeze cells, translating to high viability and functionality
    • Preserve specific cell subsets and delicate characteristics

     

    Drawback


    • A missed or late shipment could mean losing all viability
    • The short timeline can cause logistical challenges and potentially increase costs
    Fresh leukopaks
  • Cryopreserved Leukopaks

    As the name suggests, cryopreserved leukopaks are frozen at ultra-low temperatures to preserve the sample cells for extended periods of time.

    The cryopreservation and thawing processes result in minimal viability loss while providing more flexibility in shipment schedules and experimentation timelines.

    Benefits


    • Extend your experimental window by storing samples until you need them
    • Improve batch consistency and reproducibility with preserved, standardized cell samples

    Drawback


    • Freezing and thawing processes can lead to cell loss
    • Thawing and recovery time may delay research or application timelines
  • Mobilized Leukopaks

    Mobilized leukopaks are collected from donors who were treated with a drug that stimulates an increased release of stem cells from the bone marrow into circulation.

    The increased concentration of stem and progenitor cells in mobilized leukopaks is ideal for cell therapy and research applications.

    Benefits


    • Acquire the highest concentration of CD34+ stem cells up to 10x more than in normal leukopaks
    • 2-4x more total cell yields than in normal leu
    • Enhance reproducibility with a consistent supply of cells from a single donor

    Drawback


    • Mobilized leukopaks tend to cost more than normal leukopak products, but the benefits outweigh the costs
