We found when thawing pilot vials from PB and bone marrow samples or
diluting an infusion sample we could reduce clumping by adding preservative
free heparin to the diluent at 10 u/ml. The vial is thawed at 37C and
diluted in 9 volumes of IMDM or saline.This does allow you to dilute in
IMDM which would cause clumping otherwise. We don't add DNAse.
