Before start
All reagents used in this protocol must be at room temperature
Place 5 mL of whole blood into a 10 ml volume centrifuge tube.
Add 2 mL of dextran solution (SOLUTION- 03) and mix well by drawing in and out of a pipette.

Incubate in the dark for 00:30:00 at 37 °C
Place 3 mL of Fycoll-HyPaque media solution into a 10 ml volume centrifuge tube.
Slowly and carefully layer the supernatant from blood/dextran mixture onto the Fycoll-HyPaque media solution.
Note
Important: when layering the sample, do not mix the Fycoll-HyPaque media solution and supernatant.
Centrifuge at 400 x g, Room temperature, 00:30:00 with no brake.
