Human Erythrocyte Lysing Flow Cytometry Kit Summary

• Description: Human Erythrocyte Lysing Kit is designed to gently lyse erythrocytes from leukocyte cell preparations and stabilize the leukocytes with fixative for later analysis by flow cytometry. Cells exposed to the lysing reagent retain their natural light scattering and fluorescent staining characteristics by flow cytometry. This erythrocyte lysing method also has an advantage over other lysing methods in that the viability of the leukocytes is maintained. The fixative and lysing reagents are provided as separate reagents, thus allowing cells to be used in tissue culture following red blood cell lysis.

Background

The lysis of erythrocytes from whole blood is an important initial step in the isolation and analysis of enriched leukocyte preparations. Recovered immune cells can be accurately characterized following red blood cell removal. Lysis of erythrocytes under conditions that do not disrupt lymphocytes or myeloid cells is critical for downstream applications utilizing leukocytes harvested from whole blood.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Kits are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
