LeukoCatchⅡ Q&A
- Is it possible to use a whole blood as it is without dilution?
- It is possible but filtration time is much longer. Also it causes clog on the porous filter much quicker, thus operation efficincy may drop. It is suggested that a whole blood be diluted 2-3 fold with PBS.
- Is it possible to use a animal blood?
- A blood from different animals may cause difference in the results. Please try with a sample product first. Our in-house evaluation is conducted with human and mouse bloods.
- Is there any tendency in the efficiency of leukocyte removal due to the types or sizes of a leukocyte ?
- Basically, the types or sizes do not affect the efficiency and uniform results can be obtained. There is not a case where, for example, only limphecytes are left unremoved.
Note: As cited from an article in Advances in Bioscience and Biotchnology, 2012.
“Nevertheless, these leukocyte separation procedures require laboratory-based professional and time-consuming procedures using instrumentation that is not routinely available at the bedside or in a common clinical facility. Moreover, their protocols are too complex to apply to an automated machine to treat hundreds of samples simultaneously.”
