The present invention provides a disposable tube that represents a low-cost and convenient container for the liquid aliquots of biological and immunological reagents, such as monoclonal antibodies, purified enzymes, for use in the determination of various components from biological sources. The disposable tube is composed of plastic material with sealed liquid aliquots inside. This tube can be opened by the rupture of both sealed ends right before use. The present invention relates to a new “ready for use” tube and relevant kit(s) that can be used in various kind of biochemical, immunological analysis including, but not limited to, immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical staining, immunoprecipitation, western blot, enzyme activity analysis, in the determination of various components from biological sources. A relevant prototype of “Leukocyte Immunophenotyping Kit” is also described.
A disposable plastic tube with both ends sealed preserves liquid aliquots of biological and immunological reagents.
The tube of claim 1 can be used in molecular, cell biology, and biochemical assays, include, but not limited to, enzyme activity, receptor assays, Ligand assay, cell proliferation assay, DNA damage detection, protein quantification, SOD and cytotoxicity assays.
A kit comprising this disposable tube and reagents of an indicator system in pre-aliquot or desiccated form to allow immunological staining of tissue antigen-antigen specific antibody complex.
