What It's Used For
DNA collection kit for humans that can capture samples producing high yields of double stranded, long fragmented DNA from buccal cells using traditional swabs.
Collect-Stabilize-Concentrate-Transport-Extract-Store All in a Single Tube.
Features
Simple, fast and convenient sample collection: Self collection or assisted collection with high simplicity and ease in less than 5 minutes
High nucleic acid recovery: Up to 15µg (ISWAB-DNA-250) or 30µg (ISWAB-DNA-1200) of double stranded, long fragment DNA for downstream applications including microarray and NGS
Low bacterial genomic DNA contamination: Achieve less than 1% bacterial genomic DNA contamination
Swab-free sample transport: Decrease sample processing time without compromising sample integrity
Accommodate for sample from various age groups: Suitable for all population segments including infants, toddlers, and elderly
Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB tube for efficient traceability and storage purposes
Room temperature stable: reducing sample storage and transport costs by eliminating cold chain
Scalable and easy to process: Manual and automation friendly sample processing.
Performance
High Genomic DNA Yield
Due to the efficient Mawi proprietary stabilizing and bacteriostatic lysis storage buffer in the tube, iSWAB DNA achieves high genomic DNA yields.
Comparison of Average gDNA Yields Isolated from Different Collection Methods – DNA Concentration (µg/sample)
iSWAB DNA ~30µg
Blood DNA ~30µg
Buccal Swab ~1µg to 2µg
