The BD P800™ Blood Collection System stands at the forefront of metabolic research, particularly in the context of obesity. Its unique ability to stabilize critical plasma markers has revolutionized how we explore metabolic pathways. As its adoption continues to rise, researchers can confidently delve into the intricate connections between metabolism, health, and disease. BD P800™ tube is not merely a vessel; it’s a catalyst for breakthroughs, illuminating the path toward better understanding and managing obesity-related complexities.
The BD P800™ Blood Collection System is an example of efficient and quality innovation in the field of metabolic research. This evacuated blood collection tube is specifically designed to enhance accuracy when measuring plasma metabolic markers such as Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), Glucagon, non-acyl Ghrelin, Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (GIP), and Oxyntomodulin (OXM). What sets the BD™ P800 apart is its ability to stabilize these markers at the point of collection. The BD P800™ tube is intended for research use only and contains a proprietary cocktail of protease inhibitors which are optimized for preserving metabolic markers. This ensures that plasma obtained from processing the tube remains intact and accurate.
Whether you need immediate analysis, transportation, or long-term storage, the plasma collected using the BD™ P800 is ready for action. Researchers can confidently explore metabolic insights without compromising sample integrity. The BD P800™ has been frequently used in the studies of obesity and metabolic health due to the proteins and metabolic markers isolation capabilities. In a study conducted in 2022, the BD P800™ tube was used to investigate the brain effect of bariatric surgery in patients with obesity. The tube was used to collect plasma samples, where the proprietary protease inhibitors stabilized metabolic markers, such as GLP-1 and Ghrelin, at the point of collection. The BD P800™ stability ensured accurate measurement of these markers during subsequent analyses. This led to improved outcomes as the ability to measure intact metabolic markers using the BD P800™ tubes directly impacted the assessment and reliability of the study. The BD P800™ tube continues to play a pivotal role in this obesity research, which enables researchers to uncover critical insights into metabolic changes following bariatric surgery.
The evacuated blood collection tube, such as the BD P800™, plays a vital role in metabolic research. By precisely stabilizing plasma metabolic markers, it significantly enhances the accuracy of measurements. While not intended for diagnostic procedures, its profound impact on metabolic studies cannot be overstated.
