Cell-free DNA bloodCollection Tube
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) blood collection tubes are specialized tubes used to collect blood samples for the analysis of cell-free DNA circulating in the bloodstream. These tubes typically contain additives that stabilize cfDNA and prevent its degradation, allowing for accurate downstream applications such as genetic testing, prenatal screening, and cancer diagnostics.
Key features of these tubes may include:
- Stabilizing Agents: Additives that preserve cfDNA integrity during storage and transport.
- Specialized Material: Designed to minimize contamination and degradation of the sample.
- Compatibility: Suitable for various laboratory workflows and analyses.
These tubes are important in non-invasive testing methods, as they allow for the analysis of genetic material without the need for invasive procedures.
