OraSure Technologies, Inc. has launched a new product through its subsidiary, DNA Genotek, to advance proteomic research. The product, HEMAcollect™●PROTEIN, is an evacuated blood collection tube designed to preserve and stabilize plasma proteins in whole blood for up to seven days. This innovation, intended for research use, aims to overcome limitations of conventional blood collection tubes by facilitating storage and transport of blood samples at ambient temperature. This development promises to deliver operational and financial efficiencies to proteomic researchers and enhance the quality of data generated. The device is compatible with various proteomic technologies, including mass spectrometry and immunoassays, and is applicable in multiple research areas such as oncology and neurology.
