DNA/RNA Saliva Collectors
GeneFiX™ collectors are user-friendly devices designed for storing and stabilizing DNA/RNA from saliva samples. They include a pre-filled stabilization buffer and a unique funnel design to prevent spills. Available in capacities of 1ml, 2ml, and 3ml, they are compatible with both manual and automated systems.
Key Features
  • Pre-filled stabilization buffer for ease of use
  • High DNA yields maintained for over 5 years at room temperature
  • RNA stabilized for at least 5 days at room temperature
  • Leak-proof design suitable for mailing
  • Compatibility with most downstream applications
GeneFiX™ Xtra DNA Collect
This variant is designed for higher yields, collecting 3ml of saliva with a higher concentration buffer, ideal for maximizing DNA yields.
Assisted DNA/RNA Collectors
These collectors are particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty providing saliva samples, such as children, and include absorbent swabs to aid collection.
Microbiome DNA Collection
The GeneFiX™ Saliva Microbiome DNA Collection device is tailored for microbial studies, preserving microbial DNA at room temperature for at least a year, providing a snapshot of the oral microbiome without contamination.
Isolation Kits
GeneFiX™ offers various isolation kits optimized for purity, yield, and ease of use. The Saliva-Prep DNA Isolation Kits provide high purity DNA without solvents, suitable for a wide range of applications.
Product Information
  • GFX-01: Collectors for 1ml saliva
  • GFX-02: Collectors for 2ml saliva
  • GFX-03: Xtra Collectors for 3ml saliva
  • MFX-01: Microbiome DNA Collection device
Conclusion
GeneFiX™ products offer robust, high-yield solutions for DNA/RNA and microbiome sample collection and stabilization, suitable for various research and diagnostic applications.
RNA Isolation Kits
The Xtreme-RNA kit is noted for its non-toxic composition, free from phenol, chloroform, and β-mercaptoethanol. It is compatible with GeneFix GFX & RFX saliva collectors and BuccalFix stabilization solution, offering high purity RNA (A260/280: >1.9). The kit is scalable for various sample volumes and available in two sizes: XMR-5 for 5 reactions and XMR-50 for 50 reactions.
DNA Isolation Kits
The Saliva-Mag DNA Isolation kit is designed for medium to high throughput purification, compatible with automated systems, allowing processing of variable volumes and is solvent-free. The New Advanced Saliva-Prep DNA Isolation Kits offer improved purity and yield, focusing on ease of use and flexibility in processing volumes.
Additional Products
The document also describes the Salivalyse and Buccalyse kits for direct PCR preparation, the DNA CleanUp Kit for improving DNA purity, and various accessories such as magnetic separator racks, transport packs, and barcoded labels. The Isohelix Proteinase K is optimized for tissue-derived samples, and foam-tipped swabs are available for assisted saliva collection.
Ordering Information
Detailed product codes and descriptions are provided for various kits and accessories, including GeneFix saliva collectors and automation-friendly tubes.

GeneFiX Saliva DNA,  RNA & Microbiome-5

GeneFiX Saliva Microbiome DNA Collection Microbial studies have indicated that the balance of flora in many human systems, including saliva, plaques, skin and gut, are a key indicator of health. Traditional methods of collection and storage of microbiome samples often include freezing, that always presents well known logistical challenges in cold chain transport and storage or can often complicate technical viability in the collection process. Isohelix has addressed these issues with the new GeneFiX™ Saliva Microbiome DNA Collection device. The devices are perfect for remote or at-home testing,...
