Key Benefits
This DNA-specific collection tube minimizes cellular breakdown and nuclease activity, protecting DNA yield and purity over extended periods. The stabilized environment supports consistent extraction results, even when immediate processing is not possible. The secure cap ensures leak-resistant transport, and the durable plastic construction reduces breakage risk. BDs quality-controlled manufacturing ensures uniform additive concentration for reproducible molecular results.
Compatibility and Applications
The BD 761165 DNA tube is suitable for:
- Genomic DNA extraction
- Molecular diagnostics workflows
- Biobanking and long-term storage
- Genetic research studies
- Population-based DNA screening programs
Compatible with:
- Standard BD Vacutainer holders
- Automated DNA extraction platforms
- Manual purification kits used in clinical and research labs
Usage Guidelines
Collect blood using standard venipuncture technique. Fill the tube to its designated 2.5 mL volume to maintain the correct stabilization ratio. Gently invert according to BD guidelines to activate the stabilizing additive. Store and transport at temperatures recommended by molecular protocols. Do not freeze unless allowed by laboratory procedure. Label immediately after collection.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD 761165 tube is manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems, ensuring consistency, sterility, and molecular-grade performance. It complies with FDA and CE requirements for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use and undergoes testing for leak resistance, additive stability, nucleic acid preservation, and material safety.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with standard EDTA or heparin tubes, this DNA-specific tube provides significantly improved genomic stability and reduces degradation over time. Competitor DNA tubes may vary in stabilization efficiency, leading to inconsistent yields or compromised purity. BDs trusted tube design and controlled additive formulation offer superior consistency for genetic testing and biobanking.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This DNA collection tube is frequently used by:
- Genomics and molecular diagnostics laboratories
- Research institutions conducting DNA-based studies
- Biobanks storing long-term genetic material
- Clinical labs running hereditary or molecular screening panels
- Public health and epidemiologic programs
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Ensure proper mixing after collection to activate the stabilizer uniformly. Avoid hemolysis through careful venipuncture technique. Store tubes upright in temperature-controlled conditions. Do not open the tube until processing to maintain sterility and minimize contamination. Avoid using expired tubes, as additive effectiveness may decline.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For in vitro diagnostic use only. Sterile unless packaging is opened or damaged. Single-use devicedo not reuse. Handle all blood specimens as potentially infectious and follow OSHA-compliant safety procedures for sample disposal.
