iSWAB Discovery Collection Kit

SKU: iSWAB-DSC

Additional Information & Downloads

The iSWAB-DSC device allows for the collection and stabilization of DNA at the point of collection without the need for swab inclusion. Typical yields of between 2-7μg (iSWAB-DSC) 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.

Features

• Simple, fast and convenient sample collection: Self collection or assisted collection with high simplicity and ease in less than 2 minutes
• High nucleic acid recovery: Up to 7µg of double stranded, long fragment DNA for downstream applications including microarray and NGS
• Low bacterial genomic DNA contamination: Achieve less than 1% bacterial genomic DNA contamination
• Swab-free sample transport: Decrease sample processing time without compromising sample integrity
• Accommodate sampling among various age groups: Suitable for all population segments including infants, toddlers, and elderly
• Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB tube for efficient traceability and storage purposes
• Room temperature stable: Reduces sample storage and transport costs by eliminating cold chain requirements
• Scalable and easy to process: Manual and automation friendly sample processing.
