Whole Blood
Whole human peripheral blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) can be isolated from whole blood by density gradient separation to remove granulocytes and RBCs. Whole blood products are collected by venipuncture of healthy consenting donors without further enrichment in a variety of anticoagulants and formats suitable for many applications.
- Whole Tissue
- Isolated Cells: Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs), Neutrophils, Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
- Non-cellular Products: Plasma and Serum
AllCells can manufacture the following whole blood products:
Whole – Peripheral blood collected by venipuncture into tubes, syringes, or transfer bags. Standard anticoagulant choices are ACD:A, sodium citrate, sodium heparin, and EDTA type K2. Whole blood can also be collected into Streck DNA tubes and Paxgene DNA tubes. Please inquire if you like us to collect into other FDA approved tubes.
MNC – Mononuclear cells isolated from whole blood collected in vacutainer cell preparation tubes (CPT).
Plasma – Extracted from spinning down whole blood.
Serum – Extracted from whole blood collected in vacutainer serum separator tube (SST).
RBC – Isolated by filtration.
Buffy Coat – MNC layer collected from spinning down whole blood.
Neutrophils – Isolated by immunomagnetic microbeads.
Whole Blood products are collected by venipuncture of healthy donors without further enrichment and thus have typical white blood cell (WBC) composition ranges. AllCells offers fresh or cryopreserved Whole Blood products collected in customer-selected or standard anticoagulants and in different tissue formats*: Whole Tissue, Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs), Subpopulations: Neutrophils, Plasma, and Serum.
*Cell type, cell selection method, and unit size (3-480mL) vary depending on tissue format.

LEARN MOREWhole Tissue
Whole Blood products are collected by venipuncture of healthy and consenting donors following IRB-approved protocols at AllCells’ onsite collection and processing facilities. Whole blood formats include vacutainer tubes, syringes, or in transfer bags in ACD-A, EDTA, heparin, or sodium citrate anticoagulants suitable for a variety of blood analysis testing.
Isolated Cells
Mononuclear cells, eosinophils, basophils and red blood cells (RBCs) isolated from whole blood collections are also available:
- Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from whole blood are isolated by density gradient separation to remove granulocytes and red blood cells (RBCs) and washed to remove platelets.
- Eosinophils and basophils are isolated from whole blood by negative immunomagnetic selection using beads against non-target cell populations - this leaves the isolated target cells unlabeled
- Red blood cells are isolated from whole blood using a filtration system to remove leukocytes and platelets.
All products are quality controlled for cell count and viability determined using a validated AO/PI protocol.
Non-cellular Products:
Plasma is isolated from heparinized whole blood by centrifugation. Serum is isolated from whole blood using a serum separator tube.
