Cell-Free DNA BCT^®

Cell-Free DNA BCT is a blood collection tube that stabilizes cell-free DNA for up to 14 days at 6 °C to 37 °C and CTCs for up to 7 days at 15 °C to 30 °C. Once isolated from stored plasma, the cfDNA and CTCs are suitable for many downstream applications used in clinical research studies, drug discovery and diagnostic assay development.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS | PATENTS

Cell-Free DNA BCT is a direct draw blood collection tube which stabilizes nucleated blood cells. The unique preservative limits the release of genomic DNA, allowing isolation of high-quality cell-free DNA. Cell-Free DNA BCT has also been demonstrated to minimize the degradation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). By limiting cell lysis, the specialized chemistry provides sample integrity during storage, shipping and handling of blood samples. Cell-free DNA and gDNA are stable for up to 14 days at 6 °C to 37 °C. CTCs are stable for up to 7 days at 15 °C to 30 °C.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures in the U.S.
A CE version of these tubes is also available. Cell-Free DNA BCT CE is for Export Only. Not for sale in the U.S.
