Samples ：

   •Peripheral Blood, Buffy Coat, Mobilized Blood, Bone Marrow, Cord Blood

Anticoagulants：

   •Sodium Citrate (ACD), Heparin, EDTA

   •ACD is better for older blood (> 24 hrs). EDTA is only good for fresh blood (<24 hrs), as high concentration of EDTA can affect cell viability.

Donor info, frequency of cell types, and storage conditions：

   •Store blood at RT (not in fridge) for up to 3 days. Some cells have a lifespan of a max. 24 hrs outside the body (i.e. Dendritic cells, plasma cells, granulocytes).
