Collection & Preservation of Saliva, Swabs and Stool High quality samples for excellent results

Non-invasive collection of DNA samples The number of high-throughput studies in which DNA from many individuals is analysed is rapidly increasing. Non-invasive methods and techniques that allow self-collection are often preferred because they increase compliance rates and reduce costs. In addition, they can be used by untrained study participants, including children and the elderly. A major challenge for genetic testing and microbiome studies is the complexity of samples with a broad spectrum of bacteria and other microorganisms like fungi present in saliva or stool samples. Validated methods...

Stool samples With the Stool Collection Tubes Invitek Molecular offers a versatile tool for microbiome analysis. The product has already become popular with many studies for classical microbiome characterization of bacteria [1,2] and fungi [3], as well as in research on microbiome-associated diseases, nutrigenomics [4] and veterinary studies [5]. The main applications for Invitek Molecular stool products are qPCR, 16S rRNA sequencing or Shotgun Metagenomics. Optionally the product can be combined with a faeces catcher. Stool Collection Tubes with DNA Stabilizer Practical and accurate: rapid homogenization...

Saliva & swab samples With different options for saliva sampling as well as swabs, Invitek Molecular offers a sound portfolio for use in a variety of genetic testing [6,7], pharmacogenomic applications or oral microbiome studies [8]. DNA isolated from saliva and swabs is suitable for a broad range of applications like standard PCR methods, SNP genotyping, Whole Exome Sequencing, Whole Genome Sequencing, Next Generation Sequencing and arrays. SalivaGene Collector Highest safety with patented lyophilized stabilizing buffer: simply give the sample in the collection tube up to the mark. The stabilization...

Long term stability of DNA in saliva samples Samples were collected with the SalivaGene Collector, stored at room temperature, and extracted with the PSP® Spin SalivaGene DNA Kit over a time period of up to 2 years. The PCR assay proofes the preservation of DNA in all saliva samples thoughout the long term study. Saliva was collected from 5 different human candidates with the Saliva Gene Collector. 500 µl of the preserved sample were extracted on day 1, after 6 months, 1 year and 2 years with the PSP® Spin SalivaGene DNA Kit. 2.5 µl of the isolated DNA were used for qPCR, specific for a single...
