CTL-MAT Monocyte Activation Test (MAT) Kit
CTL-MAT kit overview
The CTL-MAT kit includes everything you need to start, right at the very top.
Pooled PBMC
1 mL (5 million cells) of cryopreserved 4 or 8 donor pooled PBMC.
Media A & B
Culture media to dilute standards and products.
EDQM Endotoxin Standard
International endotoxin standard Lipopolysaccharides E. Coli (LPS).
2 x Non-Endotoxins
Includes both heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSA) and R848 (Resiquimod).
Human IL-6 ELISA Kit
Contains all reagents, coated microplate and IL-6 standard.
Picture perfect performance, every time.
Intra-batch reproducibility of results
See above for standard curves of 4 PBMC vials from 1 unique batch of the CTL-MAT PBMC.
Inter-batch reproducibility of results
See image above for standard curves of PBMC vials from 3 different batches of the CTL MAT PBMC.
Reproducibility across independent experiments
Average results of 7 experiments carried-out at different sites & times using different PBMC batches.
2,000...
and counting
PBMC supply that's scalable for the masses.
Unlike any other monocyte activation test vendor, our supply sites in Europe and the U.S. benefit from large-scale state-of-the-art manufacturing that can successfully deliver up to 2,000 vials of 4-donor pooled cryopreserved CTL-MAT PBMC per batch.

"We've got your back – supporting you every step of the way, and then some."
Early on we'll share a list of materials and equipment (and vendors) you'll need to get going and then we'll schedule either in-house or online MAT training depending on your team's experience. As well as helping you devise a protocol tailored to your specific product, we'll schedule either bi-weekly or monthly consultations to walk you through feasibility testing, product-specific validation and routine testing. Finally, you can count on us when it comes to the nitty-gritty of data processing and analysis.
We'll deliver results that others simply can't.
Global, experienced, lightning fast.
Want to get started with MAT but don't have the in-house expertise or would prefer to first investigate feasibility before investing?
Head-to-head, we're always picked.
Almost all our biggest partners go through the process of MAT vendor performance comparison. We've always been the kit of choice.
You're in the best hands out there.
Call upon a team comprising the very first pioneers of MAT. Whatever your challenge, we've already seen and overcome it.
