Streck stabilization guide

6 May 2025

Stabilization solutions are designed to limit sample breakdown during transport and shipping, ensuring reliable results. Streck's Cell-Free DNA BCT® is the first FDA-cleared whole blood collection tube that stabilizes cell-free DNA and reduces the release of cellular genomic DNA, while mitigating the risk of sample breakdown during handling, shipping and storage. Explore Streck's expanded stabilization portfolio, designed to meet the needs of researchers exploring new avenues of plasma analysis, including the Nucleic Acid BCT™ and Protein Plus BCT™.

Cell-Free DNA BCT®

Streck

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use. Cell-Free DNA BCT is a direct-draw venous whole blood collection device intended for the collection, stabilization and transport of venous whole blood samples for use in conjunction with cell-free DNA next generation sequencing assays For that have been cleared or approved for use with samples collected into the Cell-Free DNA BCT device. Performance characteristics of this device have only been established on the Guardant360 CDx assay.

Nucleic Acid BCT™

Streck

Nucleic Acid BCT is a direct draw venous whole blood collection device that maintains draw-time concentrations of cell-free DNA, cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature.?   Once isolated from stored plasma, cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA are suitable for many downstream applications.  Nucleic Acid BCT is currently available in a 5 mL volume. 10 mL volume is coming soon.
