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.
