Worldwide shipping
Based in Heidelberg, Germany, BIOMEX ships biospecimens worldwide using compliant, temperature‑controlled logistics.
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)
Access high-quality PBMCs:
- Large inventory of banked healthy and disease-state donors
- Prospective collection service with access to >100 diseases
- Detailed clinical data incl. complete donor demographics, ICD-code & treatment status/medication
- IRB/EC-approved & fully consented sample collection in Germany
- Cost-efficient logistics with tracked & temperature-controlled EU shipping within 24 hours
Request high-quality PBMCs
Submit a request to inquire about available PBMCs.
The request should include key project details, such as:
- Donor options: Donor health or Disease status (Indication/diagnosis)
- Required number of donors
- Total number of cells/vials
- Required donor characteristics (e.g. indications, HLA type)
- Additional Information (e.g. processing requirements)
Get in contact and schedule a meeting with our team to discuss the next steps.
Matched sample sets, including DTCs, cfDNA and serum, are available on request.
Cell number: Disease state: 5 Mio or 10 Mio cells/vial. Healthy: 10, 20, 50 or 100 Mio cells/vial.
Collection source: Whole blood or apheresis.
Hematology analysis: Quantification of total leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, differential white blood cell populations (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), and calculated PBMC counts is performed using a Sysmex XN‑330.
Cell viability: High post‑thaw viability (>90%) for healthy donor PBMCs using standardized cryopreservation; disease‑state samples may show biological variability.
Anticoagulant: Sodium citrate 3,2%.
Cryopreservation: CryoStor CS10 or FCS.
Additional characterization: Viability, HLA-typing, immunophenotyping, sterility testing, FCGR3A polymorphism, T-cell activation assay, FACS analysis, HLH analysis, hematological analysis and mycoplasma testing available upon request.
Storage & shipping: Stored in LN₂; shipped on dry ice or dry shipper within 24 hours in Central Europe.
Depending on the requested PBMCs and study requirements, the following donor information and sample characterization data can be provided:
Donor demographics: Age, gender, weight, height, BMI, ethnicity, smoking and alcohol consumption status, country of collection, and collection date and time.
Serology: Serological testing for Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV and HBsAg is performed in-house using CE-approved assays.
Clinical background: Diagnosis and disease indication (ICD-code), concomitant medications, treatment and disease status, allergies, relevant comorbidities or additional diseases. Customization options to individual requirements.
All data are provided in accordance with ethical approvals, informed consent, and applicable data protection regulations.
