Whole Blood Processing Kit (hC002) — the complete system

In short

Everything in one box: the Stabiliser that locks the immune state at the bedside, the full Fix-Lyse processing chemistry, and CRYO#20 for post-fixation freeze-thaw stability. One kit, sized by how much blood you'll process — not by how much Stabiliser you need.

Kit components & volumes

Available in Human (hC002) and Murine (mC002) formulations — identical volumes and pricing across both; Murine cat#s use an "m" prefix in place of "h".

hC002-1000 — processes 100 mL of blood (≈190–200 samples of 500 µl each) — 4.1 kg

Individual components can be reordered separately if one runs low or a shipment arrives short — ask for the specific component SKU (e.g. hC002-1000-W01 for the 1000 mL kit's WASH buffer).

How the components work together

Stabiliser locks the sample at collection → freeze at −80 °C → later, thaw and add Fix-concentrate + Fix-diluent (1:1) to fix → LYSIS clears red blood cells (only works paired with the fixation buffer, never alone) → WASH stabilises the pellet and clears lysis remnants → CRYO#20 gives the now-fixed sample multi-freeze-thaw stability for centralised batch acquisition.

What's the difference vs. buying components separately?

This bundle is the best value for projects of about 2 years or less (every component carries a minimum 24-month expiration from dispatch). For longer projects, or when Stabiliser tubes ship to multiple collection sites while one central lab does all the processing, buy the Stabiliser (hWBCS002) and Fix-Lyse Kit (WBFL002) separately instead — same chemistry, more flexible logistics, slightly higher combined price reflecting the extra shipping and packing.
