GFX-01 is developed for 1ml of saliva. The collector has a simple screw-on funnel for saliva delivery directly into the buffer. The saliva collection tube clearly indicates the volume of saliva required. Once in the buffer, DNA is stabilized for 5 years and viral RNA is stabilized for 5 days at room temperature, with high yields maintained.

With robust, leakproof collection tubes, GeneFix saliva collectors are fully specified for sample transport and storage.

Below is a demonstration of how to use the GeneFix Saliva Collectors:

Features

Integrated DNA/RNA stabilization buffer preserves high yields of DNA and viral RNA
DNA stabilized for 5+ years and viral RNA for 5 days at room temperature
Unique funnel design prevents spillages or buffer flow back
Total DNA yield in adults is 180ng/µl
Ready for transport; collection tube specified to 95kPa for leakproof mailing

Applications

Saliva DNA and viral RNA collection and stabilization
COVID-19 saliva-based applications and testing
Population studies and genetics research
Clinical and academic research projects
DNA/viral RNA testing
