CD34 selected human stem cells are the first cellular product available to investigators. Peripheral blood stem cell collections are performed in the Blood Bank Donor Center on G-CSF stimulated normal donors. Other sizes are available on request.
Frozen cells are available at any time.
Fresh cells are available on the day of collection and separation. In addition, the Cell Therapy Facility can perform large scale positive or negative cell selection and isolation of other cell populations. Our specialized equipment enables us to process and handle large numbers of cells and volumes of reagents in sterile, closed systems using bags, tubing, and sterile connections. The COBE 2991 Cell Processor can reduce volume, wash, or ficoll large numbers of cells. However, it is every investigator's responsibility who uses human tissue to obtain IRB approval.
