I need to transport PBMCs I have frozen in liquid nitrogen to another Lab where I will carry out flow cytometry analysis of some cells as well as Elispot for T cell secretion of IFN-Y.
Due to the cost of transporting these cells by air in a liquid nitrogen container, I am wondering if transporting the cells in dry ice will affect the assay I want to carry out. If so, can someone suggest any alternative to shipping frozen PBMC in liquid nitrogen.
Thank you.
Hey Ihedinachi,
I would suggest to take look at some live cell shipping options, too.
Why wouln't you cultivate cells in an incubator & ship them in an co2 incubator as well?
Please take a look at the Cellbox:

The only alternative I know would be to eliminate the freezing part entirely and ship the cells live. You should get 2-3 days excellent viability, plenty of time to ship cross country. www.shippingcells.com
