Don’t just store your DNA samples, protect them GenTegra™ DNA protects DNA from hydrolysis and oxidation, stabilizing it for long-term ambient temperature storage, while freezing merely slows these processes. GenTegra DNA is like insurance for storing and shipping your samples, because it stabilizes them for a wide temperature range. Dry ice and cold packs cannot protect your samples during delivery delays, and even a few extra days can cause sample loss. When shipped using GenTegra DNA, your sample is completely protected even after days or weeks of delay. You might even save money on shipping costs and rush charges. Recovering your sample after storage or shipment is easy. Simply add water to recover 100% of your sample, and it is ready for any downstream application. Start protecting your samples the better way, using GenTegra DNA. Long Term Protection and Stability DNA samples stored on GenTegra DNA show no degradation after the equivalent of 16 years storage at ambient temperature. Accelerated stability studies show DNA sample protection with no visible degradation.1 250 ng/lane genomic DNA stored on GenTegra DNA for six months at ambient (25 °C) and elevated temperatures, Ongoing ambient temperature experiments show retention of sample quality at 4.5 years After an initial six month incubation period at 25 °C, 37 °C, and 56 °C, samples stored on GenTegra DNA were stored at ambient temperature (25 °C) for four years, duplicating actual storage conditions. These samples show no degradation and perform identically in all downstream applications. 25 °c 37 “C 56 °c Temperature at 7mo 7 mo 7mo initial storage date Bruskov, VI. Malakhova, LV. Masalimov, ZK.
