Specially formulated, nutrient-rich supplement for PBMC
CTL-Wash™ supplement is a 10x serum-free formulation that should be added to RPMI-1640. CTL-Wash™ contains injection-grade water supplemented with amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, human serum albumin in a proprietary composition to provide a nutritionally complete and balanced environment for the PBMC for maximizing PBMC survival.
Helps maintain full viability and functionality throughout washing of PBMC following isolation or thawing.
The two to three washing steps required after the Ficoll® isolation or during thawing of PBMC and the time required for their counting typically adds up to 30-40 minutes
During this time, the PBMC quality will deteriorate if kept in a nutritionally-deficient environment
If uncharacterized serum is added, mitogenic or toxic effects can affect the cells
