Integrated Collection, Stabilization, And Purification Of Circulating Cell-free DNA
Apoptosis and lysis of white blood cells in unstabilized whole blood releases intracellular DNA into plasma, which dilutes naturally occurring ccfDNA. PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes contain an additive that anticoagulates blood and stabilizes blood cells via a non-crosslinking stabilization solution. This helps prevent the release of intracellular DNA and maintains constant ccfDNA levels during sample transport and storage prior to processing. When used with PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes, the proven magnetic particle technology of the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit provides a rapid, automated procedure to isolate ccfDNA of high quality and purity.
