Publication highlight: Parallelized Immunomagnetic Isolation of Basophils Directly from Whole Blood

A recent paper from Dr. Sindy Tang’s group, a collaborator with the SNP Center, discusses the development of a novel method for quickly and efficiently isolating basophils. In comparison to traditional isolation methods, this new method reduces the processing time from 09 minutes down to 14 minutes and also reduces the required blood volume from 30 milliliters down to as little as 100 microliters. Together this greatly increases the potential of translating basophil activation markers into the clinic.
