Are you looking for a non-invasive way to collect DNA from patients that cannot or choose not to comply with blood collections?
Many of our customers are looking for improved, non-invasive methods to collect DNA samples from those who are unable to comply with blood collections. DNA Genotek has developed a product for collecting DNA from saliva using absorbent sponges. This method is an all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization, transportation and purification of DNA from saliva. This method yields high-quality DNA and eliminates the need for traditional collection methods, which require painful blood draws or uncomfortable and unreliable cheek scrapes.
