The collection tube

NucliSafe™ keeps the message intact.

Wren’s NucliSafe™ BLOOD tube lyses and stabilizes whole blood at the moment of collection — 2 mL of blood into 4 mL of buffer — so RNA and genomic DNA stop changing after the draw, without a cold chain.

At least 2 mL of blood should be drawn into the provided tube, with appropriate patient identifiers on the tube. Once collected, either send the sample within 24 hours or freeze it at −80 °C (not a normal refrigerator freezer) until send-out. Send on the same or next day using the kit provided. Shipping is at ambient temperature — no dry ice is needed. Remember to include the signed order form.

For studies that batch-send samples: freeze all collected tubes at −80 °C within 24 hours of collection. Once sufficient samples are collected (e.g., 20), send by courier at ambient temperature using the kit box provided.

Each kit includes a pre-paid FedEx label and a white polystyrene box.

  • Place the blood sample tube into the box.
  • Include a fully completed and signed requisition form and the brief patient history form.
  • Include relevant clinical notes (physician notes / clinical history).
  • Call FedEx and they will collect the kit from your office.
