YALEPIC^® BALF cfDNA Sample Storage Tube

Specifically designed for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and pulmonary alveolar fluid samples. Not suitable for blood, sputum, tissue, or other sample types.

No. The storage tube supports 4-37 degrees C ambient transport without cold chain. Room temperature transport does not affect cfDNA integrity, eliminating the need for dry ice or refrigerated containers and reducing logistics costs.

At 4-37 degrees C, cfDNA in the sample remains stable for 14 days, and cellular genomic DNA can be preserved for up to 1 year, meeting both short-term transport and long-term sample retention needs.

No. Within the 4-37 degrees C range, temperature variations over 7 days show no significant decline in cfDNA concentration. The tube has strong resistance to environmental temperature fluctuations, suitable for long-distance cross-regional sample submission.

Yes. After collection, BALF samples require no special processing and can be directly extracted for cfDNA using standard commercial nucleic acid extraction kits. Fully compatible with NGS, PCR, mNGS, and other downstream molecular detection experiments.

No. The specialized protective formula only inhibits nuclease degradation and maintains cell integrity, with no nucleic acid-inhibiting components. It does not interfere with enzymatic reactions or gene sequencing results, ensuring high detection reproducibility.

Catalog number YS21032, single tube capacity 10 ml, standard packaging 100 tubes/box, supporting bulk procurement and routine laboratory stocking.

No. The storage tube strongly maintains nucleated cell integrity, preventing cell lysis and genomic DNA release, avoiding cfDNA dilution and ensuring accurate gene detection data.
