A Smart Tube is a proprietary collection and stabilization system designed to "freeze" the biological state of a sample—typically whole blood—at the exact moment of collection. Produced by Smart Tube Inc., these tubes contain specialized proteomic stabilizers that allow researchers to preserve delicate cellular signals, such as protein phosphorylation, for years without degradation. Core Benefits

: Allows samples to be collected at clinical sites and shipped to central labs for high-dimensional analysis like Mass Cytometry (CyTOF).

Researchers use Smart Tubes to study complex immune landscapes in conditions like:
