Circulating rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), fetal cells (CFC) and stem cells (CSC) are very fragile, for which auto-lysis of targeted rare cells may begin as early as 2
hours (peaked at 6-10 hours) after blood draw in vitro condition. Blood Leukocyte Preservation Tube is specially formulated to stabilize fragile rare target cells.
Omnipotent Protection of Blood Samples
Provide effective protection for white blood cell (WBC), circulating Tumor Cells (CTC), cell-free DNA (cfDNA}, and plasma exosomes. The only BCT in the market inhibits formation of platelet exosomes by more than 90% but preserves cell exosomes.
Preserve Excellent Blood Cell Morphology
Stabilize blood cells for up to 5 days of transportation at room temperature. After 72 hours, the morphology of blood cells in Ardent CTC BCT is still in good shape, and may be culturable.
Facilitate Blood Rare Cell Enrichment and Optimize for Downstream Molecular
Specially formulated preservatives with effective anti-platelet aggregation and blood clotting is especially suitable for microfiuidics and flowcytometric analysis of blood cells
