DNA collection kit ISWAB-ID-250

What It's Used For Non-invasive sample collection tube for collection and stabilization of protein and DNA in the same oral sample iSWAB-ID is an efficient sample collection system which enables long term room temperature stabilization of the collected sample at the point of collection, while ensuring proper chain of custody. This system allows for maximizing sample recovery and obtaining human DNA compatible with ID profiling assays. DNA extraction can be performed using any commercially available whole blood extraction chemistry. Features Benefits Efficiently recovered and stabilized DNA of forensic significance at the point of collection. Stabilized DNA remained of sufficient quality to analyze for at least 2 weeks at ambient temperature. Unlike processing traditional swabs, collecting samples with iSWAB-ID allows for multiple runs for analysis and archiving purposes. Collected samples are stable over 5 years at room temperature storage (based on accelerated stability testing). The collection of biometric or crime scene samples is a key step in the investigation process. As critical as this step is, however, traditional collection tools such as swabs and FTA cards leave significant room for error or unusable samples. After collection, inadequate resources can often lead to a backlog of several weeks or months to process the samples therefore increasing the possibility of yielding invalid results. Factors which can negatively impact sample integrity include - Improper storage and transport can lead to bacterial or mold growth - DNases and RNases released by collected cells can degrade DNA rapidly
