Blood STASIS™-Omics Blood Collection Tubes
universal evacuated tube used for blood collection, storage, and ambient stabilization of DNAs, RNAs, proteins, and metabolites in blood samples
Blood collection and stabilization of nucleic acids and proteins for:
- Genomics and proteomics research
- Gene expression studies and transcriptomics
- Metabolomics
- Detection of DNA, mRNA, proteins, and metabolites from a single blood sample
- Room temperature blood stabilization for 7 days
- Efficient and flexible sample processing
- Prevents effect of time, storage conditions on sample integrity
The Blood STASIS™-Omics Tube is a universal, plastic, evacuated tube, used for blood collection, and ambient stabilization of DNAs, RNAs, proteins, and metabolites in blood samples for up to 7 days. A proprietary Blood STASIS™-Omics Blood Collection Tube contains a non-fixative additive that helps to keep blood samples non-coagulated and to maintain the integrity of all nucleic acids and proteins. Blood samples can be safely collected, stored and transported at ambient temperatures for a time of one week, while nucleic acids and proteins remain non-degraded for further analysis. Genomic DNA, circulating cell-free DNA, total RNA, mRNA, proteins, and metabolites can afterwards be analyzed in genomics or proteomics studies.
This is a short overview of the protocol, for detailed protocols, please refer to PRODUCT DOCUMENTS
Procedure for Specimen Collection
- Blood STASIS™-Omics tube should be properly labeled and be at room temperature before use.
- Collection of blood in the tube is done using the SOP for venipuncture technique used in customer’s laboratory.
Preventing back flow
- To guard against back flow, observe the precautions mentioned in our protocol.
- Fill Blood STASIS™-Omics tube to the indicated line on the tube.
- Invert the tube 8 to 10 times gently to allow efficient stabilization of specimen.
