BD Paxgene Blood DNA Tube Blood Tube, 2.5ml, 13mm x 75mm, K2EDTA Additive, 100/pk, 10 pk/cs 761165

Features & Benefits:

• The PAXgene Blood DNA Tube is intended to collect, anticoagulate, stabilize, transport, and store a venous whole blood sample for preparation of human DNA for use with molecular diagnostic test methods that require DNA.
• The performance characteristics of this device have not been established for molecular diagnostic assays in general. Users must validate use of product for their specific molecular diagnostic assay.
• The PAXgene Blood DNA Tube provides a means for the collection of whole blood for the isolation of genomic DNA in a closed, evacuated system.
• Blood is collected under a standard phlebotomy protocol into an evacuated tube that contains K2EDTA additive.
• Complete isolation of DNA is carried out using automated methods such as magnetic bead- or silica membrane-based technologies.
• Plastic, evacuated 13 × 75 mm tube with BD Vacutainer® technology and BD Hemogard™ closure
• Nominal draw volume of 2.5 ml with fill indicator.
• Unique, 2D barcode on each tube for specimen identification.
• Blue stopper with clear BD Hemogard shield to clearly differentiate tube as a DNA testing tube.
• DNA concentration, purity and performance in a molecular diagnostic test have been determined on DNA from blood collected in PAXgene Blood DNA Tubes and stored under the following conditions:
• 14 days at room temperature (18-25°C).
• 28 days at refrigerated temperature (2-8°C).
• 3 days at 35°C.
• 52 weeks at -20°C.
• 3 freeze-thaw cycles.
• Compatible with automated sample preparation methods.
• Compatible with magnetic bead- and silica membrane-based technologies.
• Eliminates the need for self-validation.
• Defines acceptable processing conditions.
• Minimizes potential sample misidentification.
• Facilitates sample identification and tracking.
• Eliminates labeling errors.
• Assurance of high-quality DNA for diagnostic testing.

Application:

• The PAXgene Blood DNA Tube is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
