FDA clearance brings liquid biopsy into a new era
With the FDA clearance of several assays, liquid biopsy moves closer toward the goal of making this screening method a standard of care. Liquid biopsy…
Read More 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. Plasma yield is maximized and hemolysis is minimized during storage. 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.
All your workflows in one tube!
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
- Reduces hemolysis and increases plasma yield after storage compared to alternative blood collection tubes
- One plasma isolation protocol for both cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA
Technical Note
Nucleic Acid BCT maintains draw-time concentration of cell-free DNA, extracellular vesicles, and associated cell-free RNA
Why does stabilization matter?
Stabilizing your samples can reduce shipping costs, ease handling concerns and increase lab efficiency.
