CD34+ population enumeration has multiple applications, for example to indicate whether a hematopoietic stem-cell harvest is ready to be performed for transplant, or to characterise progenitor/precursor populations such as B-cell precursors in Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) samples. However, rare CD34+ …

Stabilisation of T-Cell Activation Markers
Measurement of T-cell activation can be important when assessing immune responses, however cells can become artificially activated over time once removed from the body. TransFix has been used to stabilise activated T-cell populations. We’ve presented a selection of publications to …

TransFix is designed to stabilise TBNK surface markers for up to 14 days for flow cytometry analysis. Researchers around the world use TransFix to stabilise over 100 different cellular markers. Cytomark have compiled a list of cellular markers and their …
Read MoreBlood Stabilisation: The Importance in a Clinical Setting
Without stabilisation, flow cytometric analysis of blood samples must be performed within 48 hours of venepuncture, as apoptosis and proteolytic degradation of cellular markers will detrimentally affect the immunophenotypic profile. Blood samples older than 48 hours are often no longer …
Read MoreNew Research demonstrates the benefits of TransFix®/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes
A new paper published in Cytometry part B, compares two blood stabilising products: the TransFix®/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube (TVT), and the Streck Cyto-Chex BCT. Key Findings: Comparison of TransFix®/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube (TVT) and the Streck Cyto-Chex BCT. …

Reduce Variability in Clinical Trials by Stabilizing Samples
TransFix/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes (TVTs) have been cleared for IVD use in the United States and Europe. Prefilled with TransFix and K3EDTA, these tubes allow for convenient collection, anticoagulation, and instant stabilization of peripheral blood for flow cytometric analysis. …
