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. Once isolated from stored plasma, the cfRNA and isolated EVs are suitable for many downstream applications, including ddPCR and NGS.

RNA Complete BCT blood collection tube for cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles

RNA Complete BCT is a direct draw blood collection tube that maintains the draw time concentration of cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes. The preservative stabilizes cfRNA and exosome counts for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature, maximizing plasma yield and minimizing hemolysis during storage. By limiting the degradation of white and red blood cells, the specialized chemistry provides sample integrity during storage, shipping, and handling of blood samples.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures in the U.S.

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

Features

7-day sample stability when stored at room temperature
Compatible with commercially available total plasma nucleic acid isolation kits
Compatible with standard low input RNA sequencing library prep kits
Isolated cfRNA 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
