The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is intended to collect, anticoagulate, stabilize, transport, and store a venous whole blood sample for preparation of human DNA for use with molecular diagnostic test methods that require DNA. The performance characteristics of this device have not been established for molecular diagnostic assays in general. Users must validate use of product for their specific molecular diagnostic assay.

The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is a sterile, single use, plastic, evacuated blood collection tube with a BD Hemogard™ closure assembly (comprised of Hemogard™ stopper and shield components) and a measured quantity of K2EDTA additive quantity dispensed into each tube is designed to match the nominal blood draw volume of 2.5 mL. The tube is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic which functions to maintain vacuum within the tube, allowing for accurate and consistent blood draw for the shelf life of the tube. A predetermined vacuum is drawn inside the tube that is sealed with a BD Hemogard™ closure which consists of a rubber stopper plus BD Hemogard™ shield. The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is available as a 13 x 75 mm tube with a 2.5 mL nominal blood draw. The referenced first dimension represents the diameter of the tube, and the second dimension represents the length of the tube.

The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is a sterile, single use, plastic, evacuated blood collection tube with a BD Hemogard™ closure assembly and a measured quantity of K2EDTA additive. The additive quantity dispensed into each tube is designed to match the nominal blood draw volume of 2.5 mL. The tube is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic which functions to maintain vacuum within the tube, allowing for accurate and consistent blood draw for the duration of the shelf life of the tube. A predetermined vacuum is drawn inside the tube that is sealed with a BD Hemogard™ closure which consists of a rubber stopper plus BD Hemogard™ shield. The tube is intended to be placed inside a tube holder or an adaptor that contains a needle designed to pierce the tube closure and allow blood to flow into the tube. Once the vein has been penetrated (using either a standard blood collection needle or a blood collection set), the tube is pushed into the holder, and the blood enters the tube. Once a tube has drawn the appropriate amount of blood, it is disengaged from the holder and inverted the recommended number of times (8–10) to mix the additive with the blood. The DNA in whole blood collected in the PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube has been shown to be suitable for molecular diagnostic testing for 14 days at room temperature (18–25°C), 28 days refrigerated (2–8°C), 3 days at 35°C, up to 52 weeks frozen (–20°C), or when subjected to up to three freeze-thaw cycles. The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is robust with respect to mishandling including reduced inversions and partial blood draw. The product shelf life is one year from the date of manufacture including limited storage temperature excursions which simulate shipping conditions from –20°C to 45°C. The PAXgene® Blood DNA Tube is available as a 13 x 75 mm tube with a 2.5 mL nominal blood draw. The referenced first dimension represents the diameter of the tube and the second dimension represents the length of the tube.

The PAXgene™ Blood RNA System consists of a blood collection tube (PAXgene™ Blood RNA Tube) and nucleic acid purification kit (PAXgene™ Blood RNA Kit). It is intended for the collection, storage, and transport of blood and stabilization of intracellular RNA in a closed tube and subsequent isolation and purification of host RNA from whole blood for RT-PCR used in molecular diagnostic testing. Performance characteristics for the PAXgene™ Blood RNA System have only been established with "cfos and IL1B." The user is responsible for establishing appropriate PAXgene™ Blood RNA System performance characteristics for other target transcripts. PAXgene Blood RNA Kit is for the purification of intracellular RNA from whole blood collected in the PAXgene Blood RNA Tube. When the kit is used in conjunction with the PAXgene Blood RNA Tube, the system provides purified intracellular RNA from whole blood for RT-PCR used in molecular diagnostic testing. Performance characteristics for the PAXgene Blood RNA System have only been established with FOS and IL1B gene transcripts. The user is responsible for establishing appropriate PAXgene Blood RNA System performance characteristics for other target transcripts.

The PAXgene™ Blood RNA System consists of: - PAXgene™ Blood RNA tubes - · PAXgene™ Blood RNA kit. The PAXgene™ Blood RNA tube is of a sterile, plastic, evacuated blood collection tube containing stabilization solution (tetradecyl trimethyl-ammonium oxalate and tartaric acid. These components serve to lyse cells, protect RNA molecules from degradation by ribonucleases (RNases) and prevent induction of gene expression. The kit consists of 5 aqueous buffer solutions for resuspending, binding, washing, and eluting RNA, RNase-free water, proteinase K. an RNase-Free DNase set, spin columns, microcentrifuge tubes, processing tubes, and secondary blood collection tube closures.
