DNA/RNA transport medium for saliva
- Nucleic Acid Preservation (at ambient temperature; cold-free)
- Pathogen Inactivation (bacteria, fungus, parasites & viruses)
- Streamlined Purification (no reagent removal, universally compatible, automatable)
The DNA/RNA Shield™ Saliva Collection Kit ensures sample stability during storage/transport at ambient temperatures without a need for refrigeration or specialized equipment. DNA/RNA Shield™ reagent effectively inactivates pathogens (e.g., virus, bacteria) in collected samples. Each collection tube is pre-filled with 2 mL of DNA/RNA Shield™ that preserves nucleic acids in samples at ambient temperature (DNA >1 year; RNA at least 1 month). Samples in DNA/RNA Shield™ can be frozen (-20/-80°C) for prolonged periods.
