Have You Seen Our Article in MedLab Magazine?

CTL scientists have had one of their articles published in a recent issue of MedLab magazine. In this article, they discuss new technology that enables high-throughput microbial detection. They also discuss the numerous advantages of high-throughput detection in various fields.

In a recent article in MedLab magazine, two of CTL's scientists discuss recent technologies that enable the use of high-throughput microbial detection. They also discuss the implications of these developments for food and product safety testing.

 

The article, "Making the Jump to High-Throughput Microbial Detection," was written by CTL scientist Dr. Thomas Hattier and CTL founder Dr. Paul V. Lehmann. A copy of the full article can be downloaded from the CTL website.

T Cell Monitoring with PBMC Samples


CTL's cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are ideally suited for T cell monitoring in ELISPOT and ELISA assays, cytokine bead arrays, tetramer and pentamer staining, cytokine capture assays, and any assays that require live PBMCs.

These human PBMC samples are isolated from leukopacks and frozen in CTL-CryoABC™ serum-free freezing medium. These leukopacks are ethically collected from healthy donors with no risk of breaching privacy. Tested for: HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HTLV I/II and STS by serology; as well as HIV I, HCV and WNV by NAT (nucleic acid testing).

CTL’s Cryopreserved PBMC are characterized for:

• HLA-type low/high resolution for three Class I loci (A,B,C) and four Class II loci (DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, and DP)

• Cytokine responses to:

o 32 Class I individual CEF-peptides

o 24 Class II individual CEF-peptides

o 2 Class I CEF-Peptide Pools

o 1 Class II CEF-Peptide Pool

o 6 Protein antigens

Mosquito

Dust Mite

Mumps

Candida

PPD

PHA

• Donor Age, Gender, and Ethnicity

• Vaccination status for Vaccinia (Small Pox), Tuberculosis, and Hepatitis B
