Description

Use for the one-step isolation of lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma. BD™ Vacutainer™ Glass Cell Preparation Tubes allow for collection and processing of whole blood in a closed, sterile tube prepared with sodium citrate or sodium heparin as an anticoagulant.

The BD CPT™ (Cell Preparation Tube) system provides a simple, standardized method for the isolation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from whole blood. In a single process, up to 15 million PBMCs can be isolated within 20 minutes.

• Improved sample preparation consistency and reproducibility compared to manual gradient separations
• Faster separations because there is no need to prepare gradients or manipulate the sample
• Safe isolation of cells with reduced risk of contamination due to the enclosed, sterile tube

Vacutainer™ CPT™ features:

• Glass molecular diagnostics tubes with see-thru label for easy content viewing
• Conventional closures are color-coded to easily identify anticoagulant used
• Density gradient polymer gel with either sodium citrate or sodium heparin anticoagulant
• Blood draw capacity is 4 or 8mL (4mL tube available in sodium citrate only)
• Tube is CE marked for in vitro diagnostic use
• Centrifuging conditions: 1500–1800 g for 15 minutes at 18–25°C
