Cytologics Offers Human Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells for Research
Human Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells Cryopreserved for Laboratory Research
Human cord blood mononuclear cells are now available cryopreserved as single-unit vials for research use, according to product specifications from Cytologics. The mononuclear cell fraction, which includes lymphocytes, monocytes, and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, is extracted from human umbilical cord blood and prepared for applications in stem-cell and neonatal immunology investigation.
- Cytologics supplies human cord blood mononuclear cells in cryopreserved vials containing between 2.5 × 10⁷ and 1.0 × 10⁸ cells.
- Material is sourced from single cord blood units and suspended in CryoStor® CS10 medium for dry-ice shipping.
- Laboratory protocols require treating the biological samples as potentially infectious materials under standard biosafety procedures.
Mononuclear Cells Are Isolated from Human Cord Blood
The mononuclear cells feature a single round nucleus and comprise critical components of the immune system involved in humoral and cell-mediated immunity. According to product details, these cells are isolated from human cord blood via density gradient centrifugation. The cord blood is collected aseptically in Citric Phosphate with Dextrose Buffer at delivery from healthy pregnant women operating under fully institutional review board-approved informed consent.
Research applications for these cellular subsets span microbiology, virology, oncology, vaccine development, transplant and regenerative biology, and toxicology. Laboratories frequently utilize the mononuclear fraction as starting material to isolate specialized subpopulations.
Handling and Storage Protocols
Each unit contains a defined cellular range restricted strictly to research purposes and explicitly excluded from human or animal therapeutic applications. Laboratories must adhere to established institutional biosafety guidelines when unfreezing and processing the material, given its human origin.
