GFXA is an easy-to-use assisted DNA saliva collection device that stabilizes DNA long-term

GeneFix™ is a new easy to use and economical RNA saliva collection device, designed specifically to store and stabilize RNA from 1 mL Saliva samples. The collection tube is pre-filled with a fully tested and Non-toxic stabilization buffer. The simple screw-on funnel enables the saliva sample to be delivered directly and quickly into the buffer, and requires no specialist supervision, making remote sampling possible.

Clear, legible markings on the GeneFix™ collection tubes indicate the correct volume of Saliva to be delivered, the design patented funnel prevents spillages and flow back even when knocked over. The collection tubes will withstand defined physical pressures that have been specified to leakproof sample transport.

The tube is compatible with most automated extraction platforms, and the collector is supplied with Proteinase K, to allow RNA isolation using most kits.

GeneFix™ Assisted RNA Saliva Collectors

Assisted collectors are especially useful where donors find it difficult to deliver saliva, such as children. The assisted kits contain the standard GeneFix components and 2 absorbent swabs to assist the saliva collection, the swab is simply squeezed against the inside of the funnel to release the saliva into the 1 mL of stabilization buffer.

SWABS INCLUDED

GeneFiX™ Saliva DNA/RNA Collection and Isolation

The GeneFix™ range of DNA/RNA products has been designed to simply maximize the yields and purity of DNA/RNA collected and stabilized from Saliva. Isohelix has over the years built a leading reputation for designing and manufacturing DNA/ RNA sampling and purification products, built around their unique High Yielding DNA Buccal Swabs together with their associated kits to stabilize and isolate your DNA/RNA.

GeneFiX™ products use many shared chemistries and knowledge designs from our existing swab DNA isolation kits, and where technically appropriate these have been re-configured, or method developed to optimize their use solely on saliva stabilized either from the GeneFiX™ collectors or other saliva collection devices. The resulting DNA/RNA collected through GeneFiX™, as with the Isohelix Buccal DNA, can be used in the most demanding downstream processes.

DNA/RNA Saliva Collectors

GeneFix™ is an easy-to-use and economical DNA/RNA saliva collection device, designed specifically to store and stabilize long-term DNA for 1 or 2 mL saliva samples, and now additionally our new High Capacity collector for 3 mL samples. The collection tube is pre-filled with a fully tested and chemically optimized stabilization buffer. The simple screw-on funnel enables the saliva sample to be delivered directly and quickly into the buffer.

Clear, legible markings on the GeneFiX™ collection tubes indicate the correct volume of Saliva to be delivered, before removing and sealing the tube, the unique funnel design prevents spillages and flow back even when accidentally knocked over. The collection tubes will withstand defined physical pressures that have been specified for leakproof sample transport and are designed for either manual or more automated application with printed bar codes and caps options being suitable for auto de-capping machines.

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
