The SalivaGene Collector is an easy-to-use and non-invasive tool for collecting high quality DNA samples from saliva for genetic testing purposes. It utilizes a freeze-dried stabilization buffer that can preserve DNA for up to 12 months at room temperature, eliminating the need for immediate refrigeration or freezing. The device is designed to be user-friendly, and the entire sampling process can be completed in just a few minutes. This makes it ideal for use in large-scale genetic studies where many samples need to be collected.
The SalivaGene Swab Comfort is designed to collect and stabilize DNA samples from oral swabs for genetic testing. The DNA of swab samples is stable for at least 6 months at room temperature in the liquid stabilization buffer. The SalivaGene Swab Comfort provides a simple and efficient method for non-invasive DNA collection, making it an ideal tool for large-scale genetic studies.
The process of extracting DNA from saliva and swab samples is a crucial step in the genetic testing workflow. The quality and quantity of the DNA extracted can have a significant impact on downstream analyses, such as PCR and sequencing. This kit has been specifically designed to ensure reliable and efficient DNA extraction, thereby helping to optimize the success of downstream genetic testing analyses.
