The new RapiDri Swab kit contains the original, widely published* Isohelix DNA Buccal Swab which is proven to give increased yields of high quality buccal cell and genomic DNA, together with the new moisture wicking RapiDri Pouch, and barcoded sealing label.
Once placed into the RapiDri pouch, the swab is quickly stabilized to maximize the DNA yield without loss of integrity, over many months at ambient temperatures. The entire contents are Ethylene Oxide treated and routinely tested for human DNA contamination
The RapiDri pouch also protects the DNA from cross contamination and conveniently acts as a transport pack, meeting most international shipping requirements.
Features
- Isohelix Matrix maintains long-term integrity of DNA
- Ambient Stability maximizes DNA yield
- Integrated Solution gives cost-effective DNA collection
- Easy to handle and quick to use
- Rapid Self-Stabilization gives intact genomic DNA
- Reduces Contamination Risk due to DNA-Free components and sealed shipping pouch
Applications
As the Selected Publications list below demonstrates, Isohelix Buccal swabs have a wide range of uses, including
- Research genotyping
- Veterinary genotyping and diagnostics
- Paternity and heredity services
- Forensics and DNA population studies
