Isohelix™ BuccalFix DNA Stabilization and Lysis Kits

Stabilizes DNA at room temperature maintaining integrity for downstream process applications.

Isohelix BuccalFix range of stabilizing buffers are designed to completely stabilize the DNA in samples from DNA buccal swabs by inhibiting all enzymatic and microbial activity that occurs following any buccal sampling.

The DNA is fully stabilized and, importantly, the structure and integrity of the DNA is fully maintained for further downstream processing applications.

Once stabilized, the DNA can be stored in the BuccalFix at room temperature for periods in excess of 2 years, and then easily be processed for DNA isolation by the addition of Proteinase K and subsequent isolation steps.

The BuccalFix buffers are offered in bulk, as well as pre-filled into various tube formats to suit both manual and more automated applications where 1D and 2D barcoding and auto de-cap options are valuable. 

• Stabilizes your DNA long-term
• Maintains DNA structural Integrity
• Improves DNA yields and purity
• Room temperature storage & transport
• Accommodates various swab designs
• Compatible with most DNA isolation kits

Isohelix™ GeneFix™ Saliva Mini and Midi DNA Isolation Kits

The Isohelix™ GeneFix™ DNA kits use either mini or midi-formatted high-performance silica spin columns (specifically optimized) for the purification of DNA from Saliva. The isolated genomic DNA is highly purified with a typical A260/280 ratio above 1.8 and A260/230 above 1.0 with a high molecular DNA weight derived directly from the saliva DNA samples, most importantly showing minimum losses from the easy-to-use protocol.

The Mini format is especially useful when the Scientist wishes to isolate 0.5 mL to 1.0 mL aliquots of saliva stabilized from the GeneFix™ Saliva collector. The midi-format is used when the whole 2 mL of saliva needs to be isolated in a one-batch protocol. The DNA produced from both systems is suitable for use in the most demanding of downstream processing applications.

• High Purity Genomic DNA with Yields in excess of 100 µg
• Fully Optimized for Saliva samples
• DNA free from trace PCR inhibitors
• Designed for both Manual and HT Applications
• No Solvent-based chemicals required
• Ideal for the most demanding downstream Applications

Isohelix™ DNA/RNA Buccal Mouse Swabs

The MS-001, MS-002, MS-003, and MS-004 Mini DNA Isohelix™ Swabs use the same matrix material as the SK swabs so there is a significant history of use but have reduced dimensions and area. The width of the swab has been reduced from 8 mm to 6 mm. The swabs are Ethylene Oxide sterilized and are available in different swab numbers per wrapper; the break point has been reduced compared to the SK swab allowing it to be used in smaller tubes.

A 1.5 mL microfuge tube is then fitted as a cap and inverted for centrifugation and final release of any sample trapped in the matrix.

• Yields increase over 25%
• Recover samples deeply embedded in the matrix
• Requires a single centrifuge step
• Disposable, sterile, and packaged aseptically
• Tested for Human DNA contamination
