Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT

Cell-Free DNA BCT is a direct draw blood collection tube with a formaldehyde-free preservative stabilizing nucleated blood cells. This unique stabilization prevents the release of genomic DNA (gDNA), allowing isolation of high-quality cell-free DNA. It has also been demonstrated to minimize the degradation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Cell-Free DNA BCT reduces the need for immediate plasma preparation and CTC processing due to its unique stabilization properties to limit cell lysis.

Recover high-quality cell-free DNA suitable for a wide range of downstream applications commonly used in clinical research studies, drug discovery and diagnostic assay development.

Enhanced stability and recovery of cell-free plasma DNA minimizes variability associated with cell-free DNA sample preparation.

Cell-Free DNA BCT reduces the need for immediate plasma preparation and CTC preparation due to unique stabilization properties.
Cell-free DNA and gDNA are stable for up to 14 days at 6 °C to 37 °C, while circulating tumor cells are stable for up to 7 days, at room temperature (15 °C to 30 °C), allowing convenient sample collection, transport, and storage from the collection site to a reference laboratory for analysis.

Eliminates the need for immediate plasma preparation and CTC processing
High-quality cell-free DNA can be used for a wide range of downstream applications
Allows for room temperature storage and shipping of critical samples

Cell-Free DNA BCT is available as CE-IVD.
