Buffy coat preparations are suitable for use as a source of nucleated PBMC. Buffy coat preparations are separated after a single low-speed centrifugation to remove the platelet rich plasma, buffy coat layer and erythrocytes (RBC). Buffy coat preparations are generally enriched for leukocytes (WBC) and contain trace amounts of red cells and other blood components. If desired, you may further purify this preparation of leukocytes by sedimentation using Percoll? gradient centrifugation. This product is prepared in a buffer composed of 20.5 mg/ml Dextrose, 4.2mg/ml Sodium Chloride, 8.0 mg/ml Citric Acid Tri-sodium, adjusted to pH 6.1.
