TokuKit
Simplified whole blood collection for clinical trial sites
Whole Blood Collection
Our TokuKits are designed to eliminate the need for PBMC isolation
PBMCs or Whole Blood?
With whole blood you get the same quality information about non-granulocytes as with PBMCs, plus additional insights into granulocyte populations (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils).
TokuKit Types
There are four TokuKits to select from. They differ based on anti-coagulant tube and cell preservative buffers used (both buffers from Smart Tube Inc.)
The Teiko team can help you select the kit that best fits your needs
