This can significantly alter the patient profile from what it was in vivo to what is seen at the point of analysis, The product is designed to stabilize whole blood in the tube at point of collection. The PAXgene blood-collection tube contains a proprietary reagent which immediately stabilizes intracellular RNA for up to three days at room temperature and up to 50 months at -20[degrees]C to -70[degrees]C.
