PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes
762165
PAXgene Blood RNA tubes contain a reagent that preserves the total RNA and prevents its degradation. This permits long term storage of samples for total RNA extraction processes.
Total RNA extraction
Whole Blood
Whole blood is directly collected into the tube from an individual using a vacutainer.
Leave the tubes overnight at room temperature before extracting total RNA. This will enhance yield.
Great for long term storage of whole blood samples.
None
Easy to collect samples. Allows long term storage.
Very expensive
Alternative methods of sample collection need to be tested before opting for the PAXgene blood RNA tubes as they are very expensive.
