This saliva collection kit is used to collect, store, and transport saliva DNA samples and saliva RNA samples. The transport medium inactivates the nucleic acids present in the collected saliva samples, thus enabling it to retain high-integrity even when stored at room temperature. Saliva DNA samples can be stored at room temperature for up to 12 months and saliva RNA samples for up to 1 month. These samples can then be used in subsequent procedures such as enzymatic hydrolysis, PCR, and next-generation sequencing.
