Streck BCT® tubes are direct-draw vacuum blood collection tubes that contain a preservative reagent.
BCT tubes are now available in three formats for stabilisation of white blood cells, CfDNA plus CfRNA and extracellular vesicles.
Cyto-Chex® BCT – preserves the integrity of white blood cells at room temperature for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. Cyto-Chex® BCT is a vacuum tube for the collection, transport and retention of whole blood samples.
Cell-Free DNA BCT – contains a preservative for stabilising nucleated blood cells. This unique stabilisation prevents the release of genomic DNA, allowing isolation of high-quality cell-free DNA which can be further used for a wide range of downstream applications in clinical research studies, drug discovery and diagnostic assay development (e.g. non-invasive prenatal testing, NIPT; liquid biopsies). It has also been demonstrated to minimise the degradation of CTCs.
RNA Complete BCT - a direct draw blood collection tube that maintains the draw time concentration of cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes. Recover draw time concentrations of cell-free RNA from stored plasma up to 7 days after blood collection. Once isolated, RNA is suitable for downstream applications such as qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR, digital PCR methods such as Droplet Digital™ PCR, and next-generation sequencing. These blood collection tubes can also be used to recover draw time concentrations of extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, from stored plasma up to 7 days after blood collection. Isolated EVs are suitable for downstream applications such as Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) or indirect analysis of EV-associated cargo.
All BCT tubes are 95kPa certified to IATA standard making them suitable for both road and air transport.
