About
The CEE-Sure® Blood Collection Tube allows for the intact transport of liquid biopsy samples at room temperature from the clinic to central laboratories conducting molecular and cellular analyses. A unique feature is the ability to preserve CTCs, ctDNA or ctRNA collected from the patient in the same tube. The CEE-Sure® technology has a unique patented media that inhibits cell clumping, thus preventing clogging of microfluidics devices, which is a common problem with CTC analysis. It also can preserve high-quality circulating ctDNA or ctRNA for advanced molecular testing platforms like next generation sequencing (NGS), and applications such as non-invasive prenatal testing and detection of gene mutations in cancer. The CEE-Sure® Blood Collection Tube can be used to collect and transport many specimen types including blood, cerebrospinal fluid, sputum, and fluid obtained from pleural effusion. Use of these collection tubes does not require pre-shipment specimen processing, refrigeration during shipping, or centrifugation upon receipt, which can be barriers to the adoption of liquid biopsy. Study data demonstrating the ability to successfully collect and preserve patient blood samples for use with single gene tests and a broad liquid biopsy panel were presented in a poster at the 2017
