Prolytix Custom Collection Devices

Overview

Many non-routine tests and applications, which require the collection of blood or other bodily fluids, also require special anti-coagulant or proteinase inhibitor cocktails to preserve the sample’s integrity. Good examples of such tests include the measurements of Fibrinopeptide-A (FPA), Prothrombin Fragment 1·2 (F1·2), Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) and the Thrombin/Antithrombin III complex (TAT), all of which are highly influenced by persistent protease activity in blood or plasma samples. The SCAT series of collection tubes (Sample Collection/Anticoagulant Tubes) were developed specifically to minimize in vitro artifact by rapidly quenching unwanted protease activity. SCAT tubes are carefully formulated to yield a producible concentration of inhibitors with rapid dissolution properties. The tubes are evacuated and stoppered under controlled conditions so that the tubes will automatically fill to the proper volume.

Custom Tubes

Many clinical researchers have the need for sample collection devices with special cocktails specific to their studies. However, finding commercial sources and/or having them manufactured on a custom basis is often associated with high volume and cost requirements. Prolytix can provide custom-formulated collection devices (CCD) to meet your specifications with no minimum batch size. With an almost unlimited reagent selection, custom draw volumes, and customer-designated batch size, you can get your collection devices the way you want, and in the exact quantity you need.
