This finding can be viewed in a recent publication in the International Journal of Medical Sciences which highlights the key benefits of Norgen's cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservation Tubes for the analysis of circulating nucleic acids in liquid biopsies (https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/20/3/704).
Scientists at the University Hospital of Heidelberg and the German Cancer Center carried out studies to test the limits of conventional EDTA tubes as well as long-term storage blood collection tubes (BCTs) from four different manufacturers for their potential applications in clinical diagnostics, including Norgen's cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes, Streck's Cell-Free DNA Tubes, Roche Diagnostic's Cell-Free DNA Collection Tube and PreAnalytiX's PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes. Their findings were recently published in the paper "Evaluation of Storage Tubes for Combined Analysis of Circulating Nucleic Acids in Liquid Biopsies", and the following conclusions were made: First, they found that Norgen's tube is one of the best at stabilizing cf-miRNAs, and thus the most suitable for clinical ...
