Human leukopaks - Delivery within 24 hours after collection throughout Europe
We provide researchers with fresh human leukopaks within 24 hours after collection. Our fresh human leukopaks are a source of highly concentrated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a single donor, with a range of sizes available depending on your requirements. Collections are tailored to each researchers' specific needs, so the choice of volume, shipment temperature and blood group is yours. Our fresh leukopaks are ideal for applications such cell therapy research (e.g. CAR-T), toxicology studies and high-throughput drug screening, due to their highly concentrated cell counts.
We ensure that customers receive a fresh leukopak from the ideal donor for their research, delivered on-time to their location wherever it is throughout Europe. Fresh leukopaks delivered in this timeframe exhibit very high cell viability and functionality in downstream applications.
Benefits of using the fresh leukopaks

Frozen human leukopaks - Next business day delivery
Our leukopaks are also available in a frozen format. Our frozen leukopaks are cryopreserved using a sophisticated controlled rate freezing device within a few hours of donation.
We use CryoStor CS10® to prepare and preserve our frozen leukopaks for ultra low temperature environments (–80 to –196 °C). The CryoStor media provides a safe, protective environment for cells during the freezing, storage, and thawing process. By modulating the cellular biochemical response to the cryopreservation process, CytoStor provides enhanced cell viability and functionality, while eliminating the need to include serum, proteins, or high levels of cytotoxic agents.
Frozen leukopaks are available as full, half or quarter packs, and can be shipped globally in dry ice. We have an inventory of frozen leukopaks which customers are able to search in order to select a pre-collected leukopaks ready for immediate shipping.
