Product Description
Whole blood samples often degrade before they reach the lab, especially when freezers or couriers are not close at hand. This Zymo Research tube lets you collect and transport whole blood at ambient temperature while protecting its DNA and RNA from the moment of draw.
This listing is for catalog number R1150: DNA/RNA Shield Blood Collection Tube, 50 Pack. Each tube draws a precise volume of whole blood, which mixes with DNA/RNA Shield to instantly stabilize nucleic acids and inactivate pathogenic organisms in the sample. That makes specimens safer to handle and removes the need for cold-chain shipping. Pair it with the Quick-DNA/RNA Blood Tube Kit for direct whole-tube purification. Supplied in packs of 50. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
