When kept at room temperature (15–25 °C), cell-free DNA in blood samples obtained in Norgen's cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes remains stable for up to 30 days.

Tiny, newly formed tumors shed small fragments of DNA that are swept into the bloodstream. Future cancer screening tests could detect them early.

Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA), refers to degraded DNA fragments that circulate freely in body fluids such as blood plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. These fragments vary in size, reflecting ...

The sensitivity of this blood-based test for colorectal cancer was 83.1%, whereas reported sensitivity of other noninvasive screening tests ranges from 67.3% (95% CI, 57.1 to 76.5) with FIT 15 and ...

This type of RNA is called cell-free RNA because the tiny molecules no longer inhabit a cell. There are always fragments of both DNA and RNA floating in blood—byproducts of natural cell death ...

A cell-free DNA (cfDNA) blood test, aimed at detecting abnormal DNA signals in people with an average risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), correctly detected CRC in most people confirmed to have the ...

For the new cell-free DNA testing, a small amount of a person’s blood is tested for a large number of cancers. A positive test could indicate that the person has a certain type of cancer in ...

Use of a standardized cell-free (cf)DNA-sequencing and cancer-screening protocol detected cancer in nearly half of pregnant or postpartum women who initially received unusual or nonreportable ...
