Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the iSWAB-DNA device, a non-invasive tool for collecting and stabilizing long-fragment, double-stranded DNA. It is designed for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic procedures.
Specifications: The iSWAB-DNA device allows for DNA collection without swab inclusion, achieving yields of 10-30μg with less than 1% bacterial contamination. It uses an alcohol-free buffer to recover large fragment DNA suitable for complex genomics applications like microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
Features & Benefits: The device offers swab-free sample transport, reducing processing time while maintaining sample integrity. It provides up to 30μg of DNA for downstream applications, with low bacterial contamination and room temperature stability, eliminating cold chain requirements. It supports self or assisted collection in under 5 minutes and includes LIMS-compatible barcodes for traceability.
Comparison with Other Methods: The document compares iSWAB-DNA with other collection methods like blood, saliva, and buccal swabs, highlighting its advantages in terms of DNA yield, bacterial contamination, and ease of use. iSWAB-DNA offers higher DNA yields and lower bacterial contamination compared to other methods.
Applications: The device is suitable for genetic analysis, veterinary testing, epidemiology, and forensics. It supports various assays including PCR, sequencing, and genotyping.
Product Variants: The document lists different iSWAB-DNA collection kits with varying swab numbers, collection volumes, and expected DNA yields, catering to different research needs.
Conclusion: iSWAB-DNA is a scalable, automation-friendly solution for DNA collection, offering significant advantages over traditional methods in terms of yield, contamination, and usability across diverse population segments.

ISWAB-DNA-1200, ISWAB-DNA-250-1

Patented internal sample concentration & stabilization technology Non-invasive device for collection and stabilization of long-fragment, double-stranded DNA The iSWAB-DNA device allows for the collection and stabilization of DNA at the point of collection without the need for swab inclusion. Typical yields of between 10-30μg (iSWAB-DNA-1200) of DNA with <1% bacterial contamination can be achieved. The gentle collection and lysis chemistry of the alcohol-free iSWAB buffer allows for recovery of double-stranded, large fragment DNA similar to the genomic DNA generated from blood, making it suitable for complex genomics downstream arrays such as microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing. Other non-invasive collection methods often utilize alcohol and can produce short DNA fragments limiting their usability to basic genotyping applications. Applications include: • Genetic Analysis: Epigenetics, Epidemiology, and Forensics. • Veterinary Testing: Genotyping, Breeding, Speciation High Genomic DNA Yield Comparison of Average gDNA Yields Isolated from Different Collection Methods Features & Benefits compromising sample integrity Up to 30μg (ISWAB-DNA-1200) of double stranded, long fragment DNA for downstream applications including microarray and NGS Achieve less than 1% bacterial genomic DNA contamination: Low bacterial genomic DNA contamination in sample collection Room temperature stable: Reduce sample storage and transport costs by eliminating cold chain requirements Self collection or assisted collection in less than 5 minutes: Suitable for all population segments including infants, toddlers, and elderlies Traceable and reliable chain of custody: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each collection device for efficient traceability and storage purposes Scalable and easy to process: Manual and automation friendly sample processing Human gDNA and PCR inhibitor free certified Saliva *normalized Low Bacterial Contamination (<1%) Comparison of Average Bacterial Genomic DNA Contamination Detected in Different Collection Methods 90% 80% Percentage of Bacterial Genomic DNA content/Prep Collect - Stabilize - Concentrate - Transport - Extract - Store: All in a Single Tube Swab-free sample transport: Decrease sample processing time without Buccal Swabs Primers specific for the 16S ribosomal RNA gene were used as a simple method to obtain relative quantiification of bacterial DNA.
