APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PLASMA PREPARATION.

摘要

A collection device for plasma preparation for diagnostic assays. The device comprises a spray-died anticoagulant formulation on the interior surface of the device and a thixotropic polymeric gel. The device is a improvement over commercially available devices that contain liquid anticoagulant formulations for use in nucleic acid testing that uses amplifications technologies including, but not limited to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and branched DNA (b DNA).
