BD Vacutainer® CPT™ tubes (Cell Preparation Tubes) are an innovative, patented system for the rapid and standardized isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) directly from whole blood – in a single step. The tube contains a combined density separation system of FICOLL™ and gel , which enables reliable separation of PBMCs from other blood cells during centrifugation. The entire process takes only approximately 30 minutes and eliminates the otherwise necessary overlayering, dilution, or manual pipetting.
Areas of application
Isolation of PBMCs (e.g. lymphocytes and monocytes)
Conducting immune function tests (e.g. cell stimulation)
HLA typing
Detection of circulating tumor cells
DNA/RNA isolation from mononuclear cells
Clinical research, diagnostics and studies
Advantages at a glance
Fast isolation of PBMCs in just one step – within 30 minutes
No dilution, overlayering or manual pipetting required
Integrated FICOLL™ gradient and gel separation system for clean cell separation
Minimal use of consumables – no additional pipettes or reagents required
Reduced risk of sample contamination through one-step method
Cells can be stored or transported directly in the tube for up to 24 hours
Centrifugation can be done with the brake activated
Further information
The BD CPT™ tube enables efficient, reproducible cell separation and is particularly suitable for clinical studies, immunological tests, or molecular biology analyses. Direct blood collection into the tube significantly simplifies and standardizes the entire workflow. After centrifugation, the mononuclear cells remain above the gel barrier and can be conveniently processed further.
