PAXgene Tubes: The PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube is a state-of-the-art solution designed specifically for the collection, storage, and transport of human blood. This tube stabilizes DNA immediately upon blood collection, preserving both circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and genomic DNA from nucleated cells. By preventing the degradation of these genetic materials, PAXgene tubes are ideal for applications such as:
-
Liquid Biopsies: These minimally invasive tests require high-quality cfDNA to detect genetic mutations and alterations in cancer patients.
-
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): High-fidelity DNA is crucial for sequencing efforts aimed at understanding genetic diseases, identifying biomarkers, and developing targeted therapies.
Key Features of PAXgene Tubes:
-
Immediate DNA Stabilization: Ensures the preservation of cfDNA and genomic DNA from the moment of collection.
-
Compatibility: Suitable for various downstream applications including PCR, NGS, and other molecular biology techniques.
-
Extended Storage: Maintains DNA integrity for long periods, enabling researchers to store samples without compromising quality.
Norgen Tubes: Norgen's cfDNA/cfRNA Preservative Tubes are engineered to preserve both cfDNA and circulating free RNA (cfRNA) effectively. These tubes are designed to maintain the integrity of genetic materials at ambient temperatures for up to 30 days, making them highly convenient for research that requires sample transportation and delayed processing.
Key Features of Norgen Tubes:
-
Preservation of cfDNA and cfRNA: Ensures that both DNA and RNA are preserved without degradation, crucial for gene expression studies and biomarker discovery.
-
Long-Term Stability: Capable of preserving samples at room temperature for up to 30 days, facilitating easier logistics and handling.
-
Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Preservation: Maintains the integrity of CTCs for up to 14 days, supporting cancer research and therapy monitoring.
Advantages of Plasma Samples Stored in PAXgene and Norgen Tubes:
-
High-Quality Biospecimens: Researchers receive plasma samples with preserved cfDNA, cfRNA, and CTCs, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
-
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of research applications including genetic studies, disease diagnostics, and therapeutic monitoring.
-
Convenience and Efficiency: Long-term stability at ambient temperatures reduces the need for immediate processing and complex cold chain logistics.
