Nucleic Acid BCT

Nucleic Acid BCT is a direct draw venous whole blood collection device that maintains draw-time concentrations of cell-free DNA, cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature. 

Once isolated from stored plasma, cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA are suitable for many downstream applications.

Nucleic Acid BCT is currently available in a 5 mL volume. 10 mL volume is coming soon.

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

Nucleic Acid BCT should only be used for research or the development of new assays.

Nucleic Acid BCT Preanalytical workflows

Features

  • Stabilizes sample for cell-free DNA, cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles
  • 7-day sample stability when stored at room temp
  • Compatible with commercially available total plasma nucleic acid isolation kits

Benefits

  • Limits 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
  • One plasma isolation protocol for both cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA

Why does stabilization matter?

Stabilizing your samples can reduce shipping costs, ease handling concerns and increase lab efficiency.
