HemaSure-OMICS tubes from Mawi DNA Technologies are a groundbreaking product for ambient collection, stabilization, and transportation of whole blood samples. HemaSure-OMICs enables isolation of cfDNA, RNA, gDNA and Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) from the same sample. Collected cells are maintained intact, making them also suitable for FACS analysis.
Applications
Enables isolation of cfDNA, gDNA, and RNA from the same sample. Collected cells are maintained intact, making them suitable for FACS analysis, Cancer Research/CTC isolation, and Organ Compatibility assays.
Product Description
HemaSure is a sterile, plastic, single use, prefilled evacuated direct-draw blood collection with stabilization solution. These components serve to transport venous whole blood samples that is designed to protect RNA molecules from degradation by ribonucleases (RNases), prevent induction of gene expression and to use in conjunction with cell-free DNA purification.
The device is intended to be placed inside a device holder or an adaptor that contains a needle designed to pierce the device closure and allow blood to flow into the device. Once the vein has been penetrated (using a standard blood collection needle or winged infusion), the device is pushed into the holder, and the blood enters the device. Once a device has drawn the appropriate amount of blood as per the fill volume range marked on the HemaSure device label, it is disengaged from the holder and inverted gently 10 times to mix the stabilizing additive with the blood. The specimen is then transported to the lab for plasma isolation and extraction of RNA and cfDNA.
Intended Use
HemaSure-OMICS is a direct-draw venous whole blood collection device intended for the collection, storage, and transport of venous whole blood samples and stabilization of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and allowing subsequent isolation and purification of host intracellular RNA and gDNA and analysis of the preserved blood cells. HemaSure-OMICS comes in three product formats: 3, 6, and 9 mL plastic vacuum blood collection devices
Indication for Use
HemaSure-OMICs is a direct-draw venous whole blood collection device intended for the collection, storage, and transport of venous whole blood samples and stabilization of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and intracellular RNA and genomic DNA, (gDNA). For molecular diagnostic and next-generation sequencing assays that require cfDNA, RNA, or gDNA from whole blood.
Storage and Stability
Pre-collection: 12 months from date of manufacture between 15-30° C. Transport and storage temperature tolerance 4-45°C.
Sample stability and storage, post-collection: Separated plasma can be stored for 14 days at room temperature and several years when stored between 20° and -80°C.
Always separate the plasma before long term storage between -20° and -80°C. Plasma can be thawed up to 3 times, so plan your storage aliquots accordingly.
Downstream Processing:
Manual cfDNA-, RNA-, and gDNA extraction kits and automated gDNA extraction kits for blood are compatible.
