Find Out How Many Cells Are in a Leukopak

Leukapheresis products may contain 5 to 20 billion white blood cells, depending on the volume of blood processed from the donor during leukapheresis.

In addition to white blood cells, leukopaks also contain plasma, some platelets, and very few red blood cells.

The following table shows the typical cell count you can expect based on the volume of blood processed.

Leukopaks typically consist of approximately 50% T cells, 20% monocytes, 10% B cells, 10% natural killer cells, 3% granulocytes, and 3% hematocrit.

Collection Options

• Our proprietary protocol for collection of MNCs from normal healthy donors.
• Our proprietary protocol for collection of MNCs from people with hematologic malignancies.
• Your IRB-approved protocol for collection from normal subjects or subjects with specific health histories, implemented by adding us as a collection site under your protocol.
• A custom protocol drafted jointly, with us managing the protocol submission and securing approval.

Packaging and Shipping

We typically collect, package, and ship our leukopak products on the same day. Our packaging ensures that a temperature between 1°C and 10°C or between 20°C and 24°C is maintained throughout delivery, depending on your specifications.
