Microtainer tubes with dipotassium edta

Manufactured by BD

Microtainer tubes with dipotassium EDTA are a type of laboratory equipment used for the collection and storage of blood samples. These tubes contain the anticoagulant dipotassium EDTA, which helps prevent the blood from clotting during the collection and handling process.

Fresh blood from infants was collected in Microtainer tubes with dipotassium EDTA (BD Diagnostics, Sparks Glencoe, MD) during the first, second and fourth week of age, at the same time a clinical sample was needed. Within 4 hours of collection, blood was diluted with an equal volume of complete medium (RPMI 1640, supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf-serum, HEPES, Glutamine) and divided into two equal aliquots: one left untreated and the other stimulated with PMA (50ng/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and ionomycin (1ug/ml) (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). The cultures were incubated for 4h at 37°C. Red blood cells were lysed using 1X RBC Lysis Buffer according to the manufacturer’s instructions (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) and the leukocytes were pelleted and stored at −80°C until the extraction of mRNA.

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.
