HEMAcollect™●PROTEIN BCT

This datasheet showcases the HEMAcollect™ PROTEIN Blood Collection Tube (BCT), a 9 mL tube containing ProteoPrecision™ stabilizing technology engineered to preserve plasma protein concentrations for up to 7 days at room temperature. It provides full product specifications, including tube volume, materials, storage conditions, transport requirements, and ordering options. The document highlights how the stabilizing liquid minimizes hemolysis and platelet activation, maintains blood homeostasis, and supports high‑quality downstream proteomic analysis using mass spectrometry, immunoassays, Olink®, and SomaLogic® platforms. Performance data shows improved protein stability, reduced pre‑analytical variability, and compatibility with ambient‑temperature logistics compared to general-use EDTA tubes.

This scientific poster presents an evaluation of the HEMAcollect™ PROTEIN Blood Collection Tube using the Illumina™ Protein Prep (IPP) 9.5k proteomic assay, demonstrating broad protein stability for up to 7 days at room temperature. Results demonstrate seamless workflow compatibility and proteome‑wide preservation, with ~99% of all measured protein targets remaining stable. Disease‑relevant biomarker panels, including cytokine, oncology and neurological markers, also maintained >95% stability. The findings highlight the tube’s ability to support flexible sample handling and high‑quality proteomic data across modern analytical platforms.

This poster showcases the HEMAcollect™ PROTEIN Blood Collection Tube, demonstrating its ability to maintain plasma protein integrity for up to 7 days at room temperature. Using simulated transport conditions, the study shows significantly reduced hemolysis, lower ex vivo platelet activation and minimized blood‑cell protein leakage compared with EDTA tubes. The tube is directly compatible with Olink™, SomaScan™, and nLC‑MS/MS workflows, showing stable protein profiles across multiple analytical platforms. These results highlight the tube’s effectiveness in reducing pre‑analytical variability while enabling more flexible, cost‑efficient proteomics sample handling.

This best‑practices guide from DNA Genotek Inc. provides phlebotomists with essential instructions for proper use of the HEMAcollect™ PROTEIN (HCPP) Blood Collection Tube, which stabilizes plasma proteins using ProteoPrecision™ technology. The document outlines recommended blood‑draw procedures, order of draw, equipment requirements, and precautions to prevent backflow of stabilizing liquid. It emphasizes correct fill volume, immediate gentle mixing, safe cap removal, and storage considerations to maintain sample integrity for downstream proteomic analysis.

This white paper details how the HEMAcollect™ PROTEIN Blood Collection Tube, powered by ProteoPrecision™ technology, preserves plasma protein integrity for up to 7 days at room temperature, minimizing the pre‑analytical variability that commonly affects proteomic studies. The data show significantly reduced hemolysis, platelet activation and cytokine release compared with standard EDTA tubes, supporting improved sample homeostasis during storage and simulated transport. The tube’s stabilizing chemistry maintains accurate plasma protein profiles and demonstrates direct compatibility with multiple downstream proteomic platforms, including LC‑MS/MS, Olink™ PEA and SomaLogic™ SomaScan™ assays, enabling reliable biomarker discovery and high‑quality proteomic analysis.

Preanalytical variables introduced during blood collection and handling can distort plasma proteomic profiles, compromise data quality, and impact reproducibility. Hemolysis, platelet activation, cellular leakage, and proteolytic degradation often occur before analysis and are not adequately controlled by general blood collection tubes.

In this SelectScience® TechTalk, held in partnership with DNA Genotek Inc., we will examine how stabilizing proteins at the point of collection and maintaining sample homeostasis for 7 days support proteomic researchers in generating high-quality data.

Using data generated across traditional proteomic technologies and high‑throughput affinity‑based platforms, including Illumina™ Protein Prep, we will discuss how preanalytical control enables delayed processing, flexible workflows, and reliable protein measurements without compromising biological integrity.

Attendees will gain practical insights into managing preanalytical risk and generating reliable proteomic data.
