A simple and effective method for the isolation of mononuclear cells from human blood was reported by Dr. Arne Bøyum in 1968. For more than 45 years a commercial medium known as Lymphoprep has been widely used for isolating these cells.
Each batch of Lymphoprep is checked on the level of endotoxins using a specific LAL test. Our goal is to produce batches with an endotoxin level lower or equal to 0.13 IU/ml.
Lymphoprep is manufactured, packed and released in compliance with GMP and ISO13485.
Lymphoprep has the same specifications as the expensive PLUS or PREMIUM media from other manufacturers.
Lymphoprep can be used for the preparation of pure lymphocyte suspensions for tissue typing, antilymphocyte sera and immunological research. Thorsby and Brattelie used this technique with only slight modifications in the preparation of pure lymphocyte suspensions for cytotoxicity tests and lymphocyte cultures.
