How pure are ABI's elutriated monocyte suspensions?

Elutriated monocyte suspensions are >90% pure when analyzed using several techniques. ABI documents purity during the elutriation process by multisizer analysis of purified monocytes, using statistical data to establish that >90% of the cell population has a mean cell size that is greater than small monocytes (approximately 8.5 microns). Final purity is confirmed by CD14 cell surface antigen distribution using immunofluorescence (IFA).

ABI customers with access to flow cytometry equipment have repeatedly confirmed ABI's monocyte purity estimates by this sensitive and reliable method.
