Isohelix™ DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs

The Isohelix range of DNA Buccal Swabs has been specifically designed to give increased yields of high quality buccal cell and genomic DNA. Buccal cell sampling offers a viable alternative to blood collection and, together with the Isohelix range of DNA Isolation and stabilization kits, enables high yields of pure, intact DNA to be collected easily and quickly.

Isohelix DNA swabs are suitable for both human and veterinary use and offer significant advantages over other DNA swab designs in terms of efficiency of cell collection by the unique swab matrix, which combined with a quick release surface, maximizes yields of DNA. Swab batches are ethylene oxide treated and routinely tested for human DNA contamination.

  • High-yielding swabs for buccal cell DNA collection
  • Unique swab matrix greatly improves DNA yields
  • Alternative to blood collection
  • Suitable for human and veterinary use
  • Easy to handle and quick to use
  • Available in single and twin sterile packs

 

Applications

  • Research Genotyping Applications
  • Veterinary Genotyping and Diagnostics
  • Paternity and Heredity Services
  • Forensics and DNA Population Studies

 

Additional for SK-1S:

The Isohelix SK-1S DNA swab uses the unique swab matrix design to efficiently collect buccal cell samples.
Following sampling you simply snap the shaft just above the swab head and place it into the tube provided, then seal for containment.
 

DNA Buccal Swab Pack: 1 buccal swab with 5 mL tube and cap

 

Additional for SK-2S:

The SK-2S has the same features as the SK-1S except that it includes a unique cap design that allows you to simply push the entire swab head from off the shaft into the collection tube after sampling.
This format has the advantage of being easier to manipulate at the DNA isolation stage whether using manual or HT extraction methods.
 

DNA Buccal Swab Pack: 1 buccal swab with 2ml tube and special release cap

 

Additional info for SK-3S, SK-4S & SK-5S:

The SK-3S, SK-4S, and SK-5S formats all use the same design and materials used in the SK-1S and SK-2S formats and have the same advantages for efficiently collecting buccal cell samples.
 
Like the SK-1S, you can quickly snap the shaft at the breakpoint if you wish to store the swab in a tube. If this is your preferred method, Cell Projects has available pre-capped tubes that can be ordered with these formats.
SK-3S:1 Buccal Swab per wrapper
SK-4S: 2 Buccal Swabs per wrapper

SK-5S: 3 Buccal Swabs per wrapper

 

Additional info on RapiDri™Pouch

The RD-01 Packaging includes a RapiDri™ Pouch and bar code for shipping in addition to 1 swab. 

Once placed into the RapiDri™ pouch, the swab is quickly stabilized to maximize the DNA yield without loss of integrity, over many months at ambient temperatures. The entire contents are Ethylene Oxide treated and routinely tested for human DNA contamination. The RapiDri™ pouch also protects the DNA from cross-contamination and conveniently acts as a transport pack, meeting.
