PreAnalytiX: DNA

Blood DNA Products

The PAXgene Blood DNA products are part of streamlined systems for the collection of whole blood that stabilize DNA and enable the subsequent purification of DNA for sensitive downstream applications.

The Research Use Only PAXgene Blood DNA System consists of a PAXgene Blood DNA Tube (RUO) for standardized collection, transport and storage of whole blood, and the dedicated PAXgene Blood DNA Kit (RUO) for straightforward isolation of DNA.

The PAXgene Blood DNA Tube (IVD) is designed to be used with existing QIAGEN sample preparation kits and instruments for in vitro diagnostic use.
