Product Overview
The BD PAXgene Blood RNA Tube (762165) is designed for the collection, stabilization, and transport of whole blood samples for RNA analysis. This tube contains 2.5 mL of BD PAXgene Blood RNA Stabilization Solution, which ensures the preservation of RNA integrity at the point of collection, preventing degradation and gene expression changes. The tube features a BD Hemogard closure for secure sample containment and leak prevention.
Features:
- RNA Stabilization: Maintains RNA integrity for up to 7 days at room temperature or longer when refrigerated or frozen.
- Plastic Tube Construction: Ensures durability and safe handling.
- BD Hemogard Closure: Provides a secure seal to prevent contamination and leakage.
- Pre-filled Stabilization Solution: Eliminates the need for manual additive preparation.
- Standard Draw Volume: Optimized for 2.5 mL blood collection.
Specifications:
- Volume: 2.5 mL
- Closure Type: BD Hemogard
- Material: Plastic
- Additive: PAXgene Blood RNA Stabilization Solution
- Packaging: 100 tubes per case
Suggested Use:
Collect blood directly into the BD PAXgene Blood RNA Tube by venipuncture, ensuring proper fill volume. Invert the tube 8–10 times immediately after collection to mix the blood with the stabilization solution. Store at room temperature for up to 7 days, refrigerate (2–8°C) for up to 5 days, or freeze (-20°C or -70°C) for long-term preservation before RNA extraction. Ideal for molecular diagnostics, gene expression studies, and research applications requiring high-quality RNA samples.
