TAG FLEX-LB™ “TFLB”
A RUO Stabilizing Blood Collection Tube (BCT)
A New Standard in Pre-Analytical Stability
for Liquid Biopsy
Protect Your Science. Perfect Your Signal.
The single-tube solution that preserves cfDNA, cfRNA, and total RNA with unmatched thermal resilience and workflow efficiency.
Sample Degradation Begins at Collection. Your Results Are at Risk.
Pre-analytical variability is a primary source of failure in liquid biopsy. Sample degradation obscures critical biomarker signals with contaminants from dying cells, leading to irreproducible results and costly assay failures. Standard EDTA tubes demand processing within two hours to avoid significant genomic DNA contamination, while other stabilizing BCTs can introduce artifacts like cold-induced hemolysis and miRNA ratio instability, compromising data quality.
One Tube. Unwavering Integrity. From Collection to Analysis.
Unmatched Thermal Resilience
Protect irreplaceable samples from real-world shipping delays and temperature extremes where other tubes fail.
Superior Biomarker Integrity
Preserve cfDNA and cfRNA with exceptional fidelity, ensuring a stable baseline for the most sensitive assays.
Streamlined Workflow Efficiency
Save over 30 hours per 96-sample batch and decouple collection from processing to improve lab throughput.
Engineered for the Real World. Validated by Data.
Catastrophic Failure vs. Robust Protection
Preserve Sample Quality, Prevent Assay Inhibition
The Stable Foundation for Reliable Assay Normalization
| Feature | TAG FLEX-LB (TFLB) | Streck BCTs | Standard EDTA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-World Resilience (Temp Extremes) | Robust Protection | Compromised/Failure | Unstable |
| cfRNA/miRNA Integrity (Normalization) | Exceptional Stability | Unstable Ratio | Unsuitable |
| Hemolysis Control (Cold Storage) | Superior Prevention | Compromised | High Risk |
| Workflow Efficiency | Streamlined (Saves >30 hrs/plate) | Multi-Step | Urgent Processing |
