    Academic Research

    Human Genomics

    All genetic research starts with the collection of nucleic acids.

    Superior samples, proven performance

    DNA Genotek's academic research products optimize ease of collection and stabilize high-quality DNA and RNA at ambient temperature, providing easy transport and long-term stability. Their GenoFIND™ service offers a complete suite of genomics and microbiome services including customized multi-sample collection kits, study design and logistics, sample processing, wet lab and bioinformatics.

    Featured Products & Services for Research

    Saliva

    All genetic research starts with the collection of DNA or RNA samples. Simplifying collection and ensuring high quality samples are the best ways to maximize research efforts and the validity of data analysis.

    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 and RNA, typically resulting in failed samples and a requirement to recollect, incurring additional cost, effort and time.

    DNA Genotek's saliva-based collection kits are ideal for any research application that analyzes DNA or RNA. Their products provide researchers an all-in-one system for reliable, non-invasive collection, stabilization and transportation of high quality DNA or RNA.

    DNA Genotek Product Benefits

    • Painless, non-invasive self-collection of high quality, high quantity DNA / RNA
    • Inhibit microbial growth and DNA/RNA degradation through immediate sample stabilization
    • Decrease cost and complexity of transport sample management with ambient temperature stability
    • Proven to perform on a wide range of downstream applications, including sequencing
    • Improve donor compliance with easy-to-use and reliable collection
    • Compact, reliable and robust kits for collection via the post or in the field
    • Increase sample processing efficiency with compatible formats for automated processing
