PBMC Fixation Kit (PF002)

In short

A gentler, dedicated fixation kit for PBMCs, cultured cells, or other low-red-blood-cell-contamination suspensions — not whole blood. Its STOP buffer (used in place of the whole-blood kits' LYSIS buffer, since there are no red cells to remove) gives precise, reproducible control over exactly where fixation stops.

Kit components & volumes

Sized by cell count, not liquid volume — the right size depends on how many cells you're fixing, not how many mL of sample you have.

What PF002 is — and isn't

Recommended default for routine PBMC work. The Whole Blood Processing Kit's own Fix/Lyse buffers can fix PBMCs at scaled-down volumes in a pinch, but this kit is gentler and purpose-built — use it when PBMC quality (not whole blood) is the point of the study.
