    Overview

    Product Benefits

    • DNA from buffy coat is stable for long-term storage at room temperature
    • Simplify shipping logistics and decrease costs with elimination of cold chain
    • Eliminate risk of sample loss and degradation and reduce carbon footprint
    • Optimized for use with standard blood extraction solutions
    • Enable flexible aliquot schemes
    • Scalable solution for automated processing
    • DNA suitable for any downstream application

    Transport:

    • Eliminate cold chain for transport of buffy coat samples to enable sample sharing between multiple locations
    • Reduce packaging and shipping costs by 78% with the elimination of dry ice

    Flexibility:

    • Defer cost of DNA extraction until samples are accessed for processing
    • Compatible with freezing and can withstand multiple freeze-thaw cycles

    Storage:

    • Shield samples from degradation and eliminate risk of relocating specimens due to power failures
    • Reduce freezer footprint and temperature monitoring devices for eligible specimens

    Liquid vs. dry state stabilizer:

    • Sample remains in liquid state
    • 100% of the DNA is available for recovery
    • Unlimited application volume
    • No drying time, speed vac or rehydration required
