TAG FLEX-LB™
(FLEXIBLE LIQUID BIOPSY) blood collection tube (BCT)
For Research Use Only (RUO). Designed to stabilize cell-free nucleic acids (cfDNA / cfRNA), total RNA, gDNA, intact cells, and proteins, in a single tube.
Compare TAG FLEX-LB to EDTA, Streck, and PAXgene RUO BCTs | benchmark data available
- Room temperature stabilization of whole blood samples
- One tube for many biomarker targets
- Thermo-protective for flexible shipping, storage, and lab processing
- Cost-effective 10 mL RUO BCT
- Stabilizes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) & cell-free RNA (cfRNA) for up to 7 days
- Preserves & conserves plasma content
- Works with vacuum manifolds and bead extraction protocols
TAG-1™
non-toxic tissue fixative | no protein crosslinking | use the same lab protocols as formalin | designed to optimize molecular tests
TAG-1 is a Class 1 general reagent pursuant to 21 CFR 864.4010 designed to directly replace formalin for tumor tissue fixation. TAG-1 is non-toxic, odorless, does not crosslink proteins, and is designed to improve the quantity and quality of DNA, RNA, and cellular proteins compared to FFPE tissue, while providing excellent cellular morphology, staining, IHC and FISH test pathology results.
Features and Benefits
- Designed to be used for storage and transport of fresh tissues, or a
direct replacement for formalin in tissue processing - Use the same lab protocols as formalin in tissue processing
- Designed to optimize molecular tests, excellent for molecular assays such as DNA-seq, RNA-seq, FISH, etc.
- A non-toxic tissue fixative
- No protein crosslinking, designed to better preserve tissue morphology
- Unique formulation with wide IP protection
TAG-NGPM+™ (Next Generation Pathogen Media)
For research use and pathogen test kit manufactures following validation per FDA.
- Does not require a cold chain for storage or transport – RNA is kept stable at room temperature for up to 28 days.
- Keeps RNA stable in freeze-thaw
- Designed for nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and saliva test kits
