Evaluating Novel Whole Blood Preservation Methods as Alternatives to PBMC

In this webinar, Dr. TJ Beadnell and Dr. Virginia Litwin share insights from a feasibility study evaluating alternative whole blood preservation methods for immunophenotyping in clinical trials, addressing specimen stability and logistical challenges in global studies.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Common challenges with PBMC isolation and specimen stability in global clinical trials

  • Evaluation of whole blood preservation products: Smart Tubes, Cytodelics, and CryoStor® CS10

  • Comparative performance of preserved whole blood versus cryopreserved PBMCs

  • Practical insights from using Eurofins Viracor BioPharma’s 26-color Spectral Panel-1 for flow cytometry immunophenotyping

  • Key considerations for marker resolution, antibody titration, and study-specific context of use

  • How alternative collection approaches can simplify logistics and expand site accessibility
