Protein Plus BCT™
Protein Plus BCT™ is a direct draw whole blood collection tube intended for the stabilization of draw-time concentrations of plasma proteins for up to 5 days* at ambient temperature.
*Depending on the protein.
Improved workflows
Applications
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Protein Plus BCT should only be used for research or the development of new assays.
Features
Stabilises plasma protein markers.
Limits ex vivo platelet activation and hemolysis.
Compatible with mass spectrometry and immunoassay-based proteomic analysis.
Benefits
Minimises contamination of blood cell-secreted proteins into plasma, providing sample integrity during storage, shipping and handling of blood samples.
Reduces the need for immediate sample processing and analysis.
Room temperature storage reduces costs and complications associated with cold chain shipping.
Allows for the batching of samples, optimising laboratory workflow
95 kPa pressure differential tested for compliance with UN3373-Pl650 and 49 CFR 173.196(a)(6) specimen transport regulations
