Clinical-Grade Cell-Free DNA Vacuum Blood Tube

1. Product Description

2. Application Scope

• Clinical Settings: Used in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research institutions for collecting venous blood samples dedicated to cfDNA analysis, including cancer early detection (liquid biopsy), non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), and microbial cfDNA-based infectious disease diagnosis.
• Scenarios Requiring Flexibility: Ideal for environments where cold storage or immediate processing is challenging, such as remote clinics, mobile testing units, or regions with limited refrigeration infrastructure.
• Research & Development: Applicable in translational research and clinical trials focused on cfDNA biomarkers, enabling reliable sample collection for genomic studies and diagnostic assay validation.

3. Key Features

• Clinical-Grade Reliability: Manufactured and validated to meet clinical laboratory quality standards, ensuring consistent performance in diagnostic-grade cfDNA testing.
• Room-Temperature Stability: Maintains cfDNA integrity for extended periods (e.g., 7–14 days) at ambient temperatures, reducing logistical barriers and sample degradation risks.
• High cfDNA Preservation: Prevents cfDNA fragmentation, genomic DNA leakage, and microbial contamination, ensuring the purity and usability of samples for downstream molecular assays (e.g., PCR, next-generation sequencing).
• Standard Vacuum Design: Facilitates accurate, standardized blood collection, compatible with routine phlebotomy practices and clinical laboratory instrumentation.
