The BD Vacutainer® Cell and Biomarker Preservation Tube portfolio features a range of application-specific tubes that stabilize a variety of components of whole blood for convenient, closed-system processing and analysis.
BD Vacutainer® CPT™ Mononuclear Cell Preparation Tubes
A simple, standardized method for the isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from whole blood in the primary tube1,2
BD Vacutainer® CPT™ Tubes help streamline sample processing by using a fully closed, one-tube system, decreasing processing time compared to traditional Ficoll® method and minimizing variability between sites and operators.
BD Vacutainer® PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tubes
Provides separation and storage of undiluted EDTA plasma for molecular diagnostic testing7
BD Vacutainer® PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tube provides a means for collection, processing and transportation of an undiluted EDTA plasma specimen in a closed evacuated system.7
PAXgene® Blood RNA Tubes
A convenient, closed-system collection, stabilization, transportation and storage of intracellular RNA from whole blood for using in RT-PCR molecular testing8
The PAXgene® Blood RNA Tubes contain a proprietary reagent that stabilizes intracellular RNA in whole blood upon collection and ensures adequate RNA quantity and quality.8
PAXgene® Blood DNA Tubes
The first blood collection tube designed specifically for in vitro diagnostic DNA testing.9
The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube contains a proprietary EDTA formulation that stabilizes genomic DNA and ensures sufficient DNA quantity and quality for molecular diagnostic assays from whole blood. It is intended to collect, anticoagulate, stabilize, transport and store a venous whole blood sample for preparation of DNA for use with molecular diagnostic testing that requires genomic DNA.9
