Bio-Techne - RnD Systems, CELLXVIVO HUMAN NK CELL EXPANSION KIT (1 KIT), CDK015

CellXVivo Human NK Cell Expansion Kit is a manufacturer-designed kit for the ex vivo expansion of human CD3-CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The kit provides optimized reagents, including base media, multiple NK Cell Expander components, reconstitution buffers and wash buffer, to support a 14-day expansion workflow and verification of expanded NK cells for downstream research applications such as cell therapy and cancer immunotherapy studies. The product is supplied as 1 kit, catalog code CDK015.

Key Features:

• Species: Human
• Intended use: Expansion of CD3− CD56+ NK cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
• Contents: Human Killer Cell Base Media 2; NK Cell Expander 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; Reconstitution Buffer 1 & 2; 20X Wash Buffer
• Typical culture workflow: 14 days with media refresh/splitting on days 4, 7, and 10
• Storage: Store unopened kit at -20 °C to -70 °C
• Format: 1 kit (CDK015)

Advantages:

• Contains high-quality bioactive cytokines and antibodies formulated to induce NK cell expansion
• Allows use of PBMCs as the starting population, avoiding need for prior NK enrichment
• Kit-expanded NK cells are cytotoxic and express NK-specific markers, enabling downstream functional assays
• Does not require specialized instrumentation for expansion
