TransFix/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes: stabilization of 3ml or 9ml of blood for up to 14 days
|
TransFix/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes (TVTs) are plastic, direct draw collection tubes used to stabilize venous blood at the point of collection and preserve whole blood specimens for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. TVTs are prefilled with sufficient TransFix containing K3EDTA for the immediate anticoagulation and stabilization of 3ml or 9ml of blood for up to 14 days. Features of TVTs

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
TransFix/EDTA CSF Sample Storage Tubes contain TransFix that has been optimized for stabilizing key CSF leucocyte markers for up to 72 hours
|
Analysis of white blood cells in CSF is important in the diagnosis of many disorders. Flow cytometric analysis can provide absolute cell counts and detect rare events with high sensitivity and specificity. Cells within CSF samples are typically low in number, sparse in concentration, degrade rapidly ex vivo and only obtained via lumbar puncture. TransFix/EDTA CSF Sample Storage Tubes contain TransFix that has been optimized for stabilizing key CSF leucocyte markers for up to 72 hours. Features of CSF Tubes

Circulating Tumor Cells
Stabilization of CTCs for up to 5 days immediately preventing the degradation of CTCs and CTC antigens
|
TransFix stabilised blood is compatible with a range of methods for the isolation and analysis of circulating tumour cells (CTC). The number of CTC populations present in patient blood is very low, therefore the usefulness of CTC assessments depends upon accurate cell counts and the corresponding analysis of molecular targets. Circulating Tumour Cell TransFix/EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes (CTC-TVTs) are 9ml evacuated tubes prefilled with TransFix. CTC-TVTs are specifically designed for the optimal collection and stabilization of CTCs in whole human blood. They allow stabilization of CTCs for up to 5 days immediately preventing the degradation of CTCs and CTC antigens, allowing time to isolate and analyze these rare cells. Benefits of CTC-TVTs

TransFix is a cellular antigen stabilisation solution that prevents cellular degradation in a variety of specimen types for flow cytometric analysis. TransFix Sample Storage Tubes (SST) are ideal for use where blood specimens have already been collected in EDTA direct collection tubes. TransFix Sample Storage Tubes (SST) consist of 1.2ml tubes containing 0.2ml of TransFix. These tubes do not contain an anti-coagulant. Benefits of TransFix SSTs
