Protein Plus BCT product
 

Product Description

Protein Plus BCT contains a preservative reagent that minimizes ex vivo hemolysis and platelet activation in collected samples, limits interference of proteins released from blood cells and maintains draw-time concentrations of plasma proteins during whole blood storage at ambient temperature.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Protein Plus BCT should only be used for research or the development of new assays.

Features

  • Stabilizes plasma protein markers of interest.
  • Limits ex vivo platelet activation and hemolysis.
  • Compatible with mass spectrometry and immunoassay-based proteomic analysis.

Benefits

  • Minimizes contamination of blood cell-secreted proteins into plasma, providing sample integrity during storage and handling of blood samples.
  • Reduces the need for immediate sample processing and analysis.
  • Allows for the batching of samples, optimizing laboratory workflow.

A digital illustration depicting two light gray, spiky cell-like structures with blue dots scattered on their surface. The cells are positioned on a dark background with numerous small, white dots, resembling stars. In the center of the image, a blurry, ribbon-like streak of orange and purple hues creates an aurora-like effect. This image likely represents a microscopic view of cells in a stylized, artistic manner.
