Collect superior samples for your research

All genetic research starts with the collection of DNA samples. A key challenge researchers typically face is determining how to maximize the number of samples they can collect and process given a finite amount of funding.

Blood samples are invasive to collect, impacting donor compliance. Blood is also complex and costly to ship, store and process. Buccal swabs provide a low quality and quantity of DNA, typically resulting in failed samples and a requirement to recollect, incurring additional cost, effort and time.

The Oragene sample collection product line provides and all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization and transportation of DNA from saliva.

Features and Benefits

• Increase the number of samples collected with higher donor compliance and lower cost per sample
• Painless, non-invasive self-collection of high quality, high quantity DNA
• Compact, reliable and robust design for collection via the post or in the field
• Easily collect from young children or from those who cannot spit with the assisted collection kit
• Extend reach to dispersed populations, increase the number of samples collected and reduce collection cost and complexity by sending kits via the mail – no special shipping or handling is required
• Decrease cost and complexity of sample management and storage with long-term ambient temperature stability of samples
• Increase sample processing efficiency with a compatible format for automated processing
• Proven to perform as well as blood on a wide range of downstream applications, including microarrays
