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.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Shipping / PackagingPackaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use and the process and production of packages. Packaging is closely linked to Shipping and the preparing of goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Within the pharmaceutical industry packaging and shipping are used for transport, storage and logistics between Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Manufacturing and Clinical Trial companies. Packaging is also critical in the final production of a pharmaceutical product before market. Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample HandlingProper and careful handling of samples is important in scientific studies to ensure the integrity of specimens. This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.Sample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Blood AnalysisThe analysis of blood is vital for many areas of life sciences and forensic investigations. Blood samples can be tested for a number of different reasons such as diagnosis, glucose levels, cholesterol and drug testing.Blood CollectionPlasma
