What It's Used For
Collect DNA samples from animals with high yield with <1% bacterial contamination. Reduce downstream failure rates for your animal genetics testing by using the iSWAB-Animal collection kit.
Features
Simple, easy, and painless sample collection: Humane, non-invasive sample collection for multiple animal species in less than 2 minutes
High quantity and quality nucleic acid recovery: Yields up to 20µg or more of double stranded stranded, long fragment DNA ideal for genotyping, microarray, or NGS
Low bacterial genomic DNA contamination: Proprietary buffer ensures 1 year with no loss of DNA quality. Ideal for lab or field-based collection.
Swab-free sample transport: Reduce sample processing time and cost without compromising sample integrity.
Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB tube for efficient traceability and storage purposes
Customizable: iSWAB kits and components can be customized to meet individual needs.
Scalable and easy to process: Manual and automation friendly sample processing
Applications

Hereditary traits and diseases
DNA banking
Parentage
Forensics
Breed identification
Collect - Concentrate - Transport - Extract - Store: All in a Single Tube
Non-Invasive collection methods such as oral/nasal swabs and hair pulls are well established methods
to obtain DNA from animals, but samples obtained from these procedure are tedious and time
consuming to process in the lab. High bacterial content can potentially compromise the integrity of the
sample, resulting in low sample output and suboptimal DNA quality for downstream applications.
