Evaluate whole blood preservation strategies that can simplify immunophenotyping in multicenter clinical trials.

Reliable whole blood preservation is essential for maintaining sample quality and reducing logistical challenges in global clinical studies. This poster compares three preservation products, CryoStor CS10, Cytodelics, and Smart Tube Proteomic Stabilization Buffer, as alternatives to cryopreserved PBMCs for spectral flow cytometry–based immunophenotyping.

Key highlights include:

• Comparison of three whole blood preservation products for immunophenotyping applications
• Evaluation of performance using a 26-color spectral flow cytometry panel
• Assessment of variability and data quality compared with cryopreserved PBMCs
• Workflow considerations for fixative-based preservation methods, including antibody re-titration
• Practical insights for selecting preservation strategies in multicenter clinical trials

As global clinical studies become increasingly complex, reliable sample preservation is critical for generating consistent, high-quality flow cytometry data. Learn how different whole blood preservation approaches compare and how they can help streamline logistics while supporting robust immunophenotyping analyses.
