A CE version of RNA Complete BCT is now available

RNA Complete BCT®

RNA Complete BCT is a blood collection tube that maintains the draw time concentration of cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, for up to 7 days at room temperature.

RNA Complete BCT is a direct draw blood collection tube that stabilizes draw-time cell-free RNA and exosome counts for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature. It contains a preservative agent that limits the degradation of white and red blood cells, maximizing plasma yield and maintaining sample integrity during storage, shipping and handling of blood samples. The cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from stored plasma are suitable for many downstream applications including qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR, Droplet Digital PCR, next-generation sequencing and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis…

A CE version of these tubes is also available. RNA Complete BCT CE is for Export Only. Not for sale in the U.S.

Cold chain free – Transport samples at room temperature

Features

  • Stabilizes cell-free RNA concentrations in samples for up to 7 days of room temperature storage
  • Compatible with commercially available total plasma nucleic acid isolation kits and standard low input RNA sequencing library prep kits
  • Isolated cell-free fRNA is suitable for downstream applications, including ddPCR and next-generation sequencing
  • Isolated extracellular vesicles are suitable for Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis or indirect analysis of EV-associated cargo

Benefits

  • Limits the degradation of white and red blood cells, providing sample integrity during storage, shipping, and handling of blood samples
  • Room temperature storage reduces costs and complications associated with cold chain shipping
  • Eliminates the need for immediate plasma preparation
  • Reduces hemolysis and increases plasma yield after storage compared to alternative blood collection tubes
