Sample Handling
Our set-up allows for the processing of large numbers of samples on a regular basis. This is particularly useful for clinical research projects with a constant recruitment of participants and collection of samples.
We can help with a number of different processes, including:
Blood processing and blood cell separation
- PBMC isolation, buffy coats, PAXgene tubes, Cell Preparation Tubes (CPT)
- Plasma and Serum
- Pretreatment and conditioning
- (Vitamins: anti-oxidants, red cell preparation)
- Aliquoting
Sampling logistics
- Optimal and maximal usage of blood samples
- Suitability of anticoagulant (or not!)
- Phlebotomy requirements: blood volumes
- Timings
Coordination with Clinical Teams
- RVI/Freeman Labs, CARU, Nationwide
Sample tracking
- Labelling
- Barcoding
