Vacutainer glass collection tubes with heparin

Manufactured by BD

Vacutainer glass collection tubes with heparin are a type of medical laboratory equipment used for blood sample collection. The primary function of these tubes is to collect and store blood samples for various medical tests and analyses. The tubes contain heparin, an anticoagulant, which helps prevent the blood from clotting during the collection and storage process.

PBMC Isolation and Characterization

Blood was recovered in Vacutainer glass collection tubes with heparin (BD Biosciences). PBMC were isolated by gradient centrifugation with Histopaque-1077. Plasma was recovered for cytokine quantification by cytokine bead array (BD Biosciences) and resistin ELISA (Peprotech). Cell aliquots were frozen in liquid nitrogen. Following blood draw, PBMC isolation was performed within 24 hours through density gradient centrifugation, and cells were stored immediately in liquid nitrogen. Flow cytometry characterization of PBMC involved incubation with Human TruStain FcX™(Biolegend) and staining with primary antibodies: CD14(HCD14, Biolegend), CD16(3G8, Biolegend), CD66b(G10F5, eBioscience), CD3(OKT3, eBioScience). Samples were acquired on a BD LSRII and analyzed on FlowJo (v10).

All peripheral venous blood samples were recovered in Vacutainer glass collection tubes with heparin (BD Biosciences), transported at room temperature and processed within 24 hours. Gradient centrifugation with Histopaque-1077 was performed and plasma was recovered for cytokine quantification by cytokine bead array (BD Biosciences), and resistin ELISA (Peprotech). All reagents and plastics used were endotoxin-free.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
