TransFix^® - Animal Blood Stabilisation

TransFix^® can be used to stabilise whole blood from a wide range of different species including mouse, rat, guinea pig, sheep, seal, turtle, ostrich and pig. The volume of TransFix^® required to stabilise blood varies considerably in different species and users must determine the optimal dilution required. Please contact us for further details.

Set up a range of TransFix^® dilutions starting with 0.05ml of TransFix^® per ml of whole blood, increasing in 0.05ml steps to 0.2ml. Mix well and store at 4°C for 10 days. After 10 days analyse the TransFix^® treated samples by flow cytometry using the same method as before.

The optimal dilution of TransFix^® for the animal species under examination is the concentration that gives the same scatter diagram as the fresh blood sample.
