Blood collection tubes for immunophenotyping white blood cells by flow cytometry Cyto-Chex® BCT 25x5mL tubes Streck

Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry provides a rapid and accurate assessment of the frequency and type of leukocytes in a blood sample. Logistics, such as transport of samples from collection site to analysis location, create situations in which sample analysis cannot be performed immediately after collection.
Sample preservation for future analysis provides a solution which addresses such situations.
Cyto-Chex BCT is a direct-draw blood collection tube containing an anticoagulant and preservative, which preserves the cell surface antigens of white blood cells (leukocytes) until processing and analysis
can be performed.
Subsets of leukocytes can be distinguished on the basis of cell surface antigens using fluorescent antibodies and flow cytometry. Qualitative and quantitative changes in leukocyte subsets are used to identify and
monitor immunodeficiency and hematologic diseases.
Cyto-Chex BCT is designed to preserve peripheral blood samples’ qualitative and quantitative leukocyte subset characteristics.

•Preserves peripheral blood samples qualitative and quantitative leukocyte subset characteristics
•FDA 510(k) cleared for consistent recovery of HIV associated lymphocyte subsets for up to 14 days
•Specimens are stable at room temperature for convenient transport and storage
