TBNK Mimic™

TBNK Mimic™ contains cell mimics expressing T cell, B cell and natural killer (NK) cell markers with forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) profiles that closely resemble human peripheral blood leukocytes.

The control includes distinct populations mirroring physiologically relevant antigen densities for CD4+ T cells (CD45+, CD3+, CD4+), CD8+ T cells (CD45+, CD3+, CD8+), B cells (CD45+, CD3−, CD19+), NK cells (CD45+, CD3−, CD16/56+), classical monocytes (CD45+, CD14+) and granulocytes (CD45+, CD16+).

Performance and workflow reliability

Engineered FSC and SSC characteristics enable confident discrimination of lymphocyte, monocyte and granulocyte‑like populations across diverse flow cytometry platforms. The reproducible population structure supports daily quality control, assay validation, longitudinal performance tracking and multi‑site standardization. Consistent antigen presentation helps verify antibody staining performance and maintain robust gating strategies over time.

Stability, safety and convenience

The lyophilized format provides extended shelf life, reliable reconstitution and superior lot‑to‑lot consistency compared with fresh or frozen primary cells and conventional lyophilized materials. TBNK Mimic™ contains no biohazardous material and requires no special handling or disposal, making it suitable for routine use, training and long‑term assay harmonization.
