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.

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.

Mini Buccal Swabs are Available in individual packs of 1 & 2 Plus a 1 Swab Pack with 5 mL Tube Option

MS-01, MS-02 & MS-03 Are Easy To Use Buccal Swabs That Have Reduced Dimensions For Smaller Subjects

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

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™ Spin+Collect™ Devices

Spin+Collect™ is a novel sample recovery device to increase sample yields from swabs and other materials. The Isohelix™ Spin+Collect™ firmly grips the swab or other material whilst exposing maximal surface area for the first step of elution or lysis of the sample. 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

This is a multiplex PCR kit designed to show the presence and quality of human genomic DNA. The expected results from intact human genomic DNA are bands of 100bp, 200bp, 300bp, 400bp and 600bp together with an internal control band of 500bp derived from Lambda DNA. The presence of the 500bp band in the negative control demonstrates a successful amplification reaction has occurred.
