Blood Collection Solutions
The BD Vacutainer® and PAXgene® Cell and Biomarker Preservation Tubes stabilize biomarkers from discovery to clinical results.
The BD Vacutainer family of products for cell and biomarker preservation are widely used in clinical and biomarker research across the world, in conjunction with a variety of downstream molecular, proteomic and cellular applications.
The Trusted Name in Biomarker Stabilization
Sample collection is the first step in the workflow for development of new therapies and it is important to ensure a reliable sample collection process for obtaining accurate downstream analytical results. For over 70 years, BD has been a trusted name for blood specimen management solutions. The BD Vacutainer® family of products for blood cell and biomarker preservation are widely used in clinical and biomarker research across the world, in conjunction with a variety of downstream molecular, proteomics and cellular applications. These products can help ensure consistency in results, accuracy of data and workflow efficiency when measuring biomarkers.
Why Is Reliable Sample Collection Important?
- First step in ensuring accurate downstream analytical results
- Reliable sample collection is essential for the development of new therapies
Common Applications of the BD Vacutainer and PAXGene® Cell and Biomarker Preservation Tubes
- Blood Transcriptome profiling and response of pandemic patients
- The PAXgene® RNA Blood Collection Tube provides a robust proprietary reagent that immediately stabilizes RNA, with continued evidence to show that the integrity of RNA is not compromised even if stored frozen for at least 11 years.
- The BD Vacutainer® Cell Preparation Tube (CPT) is designed to simplify PBMC extraction, remove the variability due to manual gradient techniques, reduce consumables, and ensure that sampling is consistent for challenging collection environments.
- Immunology research
- Stable RNA collection for molecular in-vitro diagnostic testing and gene expression profiling
- Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) integrity maintenance and liquid biopsy workflow
- Accurate RNA profiles from cancer cells
