DNA Buccal Swabs DNA Stabilization and Isolation Kits Isohelix: An Integrated Nucleic Acid Strategy Each Isohelix product has been specifically designed and developed to improve all the DNA/RNA sampling steps from sample collection and stabilisation using Isohelix buccal swabs, right through to processing and isolation. We have taken an integrated approach by looking at each individual step to improve yields, reduce sample losses and at the same time improve the handling procedures, the result maximises yields and quality of DNA/RNA. Smarter Collection using Isohelix DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs The...

DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs SK-1S Isohelix Swab Cat. No: SK-1S The SK-1S swab uses Isohelix’s unique swab matrix design to efficiently collect buccal cell samples. Following sampling, simply snap the shaft just above the swab head and place into the tube provided, then seal for containment. Combine with Isohelix Dri-Capsules for an all-in-one collection and stabilisation solution. Key benefits: ü Swab matrix significantly improves DNA yields ü Various formats available with/without tubes ü Available in single and twin sterile packs ü Safe alternative to blood collection The SK-1S swab includes 5ml tube...

Other Isohelix Swab Formats SK-3S & SK-4S Swab Formats Cat. No: SK-3S Cat. No: SK-4S 1 swab per wrapper 2 swabs per wrapper The SK-3S and SK-4S formats all use the same swab design and materials used in the SK-1S and SK-2S formats, and have exactly the same advantages for efficiently collecting buccal cell samples. Like the SK-1S you can quickly snap the shaft at the breakpoint if you wish to store the swab in a tube. If this is your preferred method, Isohelix has available pre-capped tubes that can be ordered with these formats. MS Mini DNA Isohelix Swabs Cat. No: MS-01 / MS-02 / MS-03 The MS-01,...

Buccal Swab & Stabilization RapiDri™ Swab Kits Cat. No: RD-01 The new RapiDri™ Swab kit uses the widely published Isohelix DNA Buccal swab, which offers real benefits for high DNA yields, CE/ IVD registration, ease of use and universal compatibility for DNA extraction, together with the latest microporous and moisture wicking properties of the RapiDri™ Pouch, and a barcoded sealing label for sample tracing. The RapiDri™ pouch also protects the DNA from cross contamination both by acting as a physical transport pack to protect the DNA sample. The pouch actively repeals any accidental wetting from...

Buccal Swab Stabilization BuccalFix Stabilization and Lysis Buffers Cat. No: BFX The Isohelix BuccalFix range of stabilizing buffers are designed to completely stabilize the DNA in samples from DNA buccal swabs by inhibiting all enzymatic and microbial activity that occurs following any buccal sampling. The DNA is fully stabilized and importantly, the structure and integrity of the DNA is fully maintained for further downstream processing applications. Once stabilized the DNA can be stored in the BuccalFix at Room Temperature for periods in excess of 2 years, and then easily be processed for...

Buccal RNA Stabilization BuccalFiX RNA Stabilization & Lysis Kits Cat. No: RFSS The new BuccalFix RNA Stabilization and lysis kits use all the Isohelix expertise and innovation to apply the same benefits of the DNA stabilization kits to RNA samples. Simply collect the sample using the supplied flock swabs and snap the swab head into the tube. The non-toxic buffer stabilizes RNA and DNA for 2 weeks at room temperature. Features ü Stabilizes all RNA species ü 2 Weeks room temperature stability ü Suitable for field, home use or clinic sampling ü Instant stabilization ü Easy to use ü Transport tested...

Buccal DNA Isolation Kits BuccalFix Plus DNA Isolation Kit The BuccalFix Plus DNA Isolation Kits are designed to easily and quickly purify DNA already stored in BuccalFix Stabilization buffers. The kit comes with all the reagents required to perform the necessary isolation steps, including Proteinase K, to produce DNA with high yields and purity for all downstream processing applications. The protocol is extremely flexible and easily adjusted, especially if there are varying volumes to be purified. The average processing time for 0.5ml is well under 1 hour, and no solvents, alcohol or other buffers...

Other Buccal DNA Kits Isohelix Xtreme DNA Kit Cat. No: XME-5/50 The Isohelix Xtreme DNA kit is a silica membrane based spin column DNA purification kit designed to isolate highly purified, high molecular weight genomic DNA from buccal swabs, with minimal losses. The DNA is suitable for use in even the most demanding downstream applications. Swab Yield in ug (by Qubit dsDNA BR assay) Table shows Samples 1 – 8: Xtreme isolated Isohelix buccal swabs High molecular weight, intact DNA from Xtreme DNA Kit. S1, S2 & S3: Commercial Human Genomic DNA @ 7.5, 15 & 30ng/μl Features ü Very high purity DNA...

Isohelix BuccalMag Kit Cat. No: BMG-50 The Isohelix BuccalMag kit for buccal swabs DNA Isolation offers a fast and reliable methods especially useful for medium to high throughput applications. The kits contain high binding capacity magnetic beads with a large surface area for fast attachment that enables rapid isolation of intact genomic DNA from DNA Buccal Swab. As with all Isohelix DNA kits, no harmful or toxic buffers are used, to allow safe, straightforward and variable sample processing volumes. Key benefits: ü Fast, Reliable Purification ü Medium – High Throughput ü High Binding capacity...
