iSWAB™-RNA-v2 Collection Kit Features

The iSWAB™-RNA-v2 Collection Kit is an advanced, non-invasive solution designed to simplify the collection, stabilization, and transport of RNA samples. This innovative kit is particularly effective for collecting intact buccal cells and other mammalian cells using a swab or cytobrush. It provides a reliable means of ensuring RNA integrity from the moment of collection through to laboratory processing. With the iSWAB™-RNA-v2, users benefit from real-time ambient stabilization of RNA, which helps prevent degradation and maintains sample quality.

This kit is ideal for various RNA-based applications including qPCR, RNA sequencing (RNAseq), microarray analysis, Northern Blot, and other molecular biology techniques. Its design maximizes the release of collected samples from multiple swabs or brushes into a single device, resulting in a more concentrated and stable sample that enhances the accuracy and reliability of downstream assays.

The iSWAB™-RNA-v2 Collection Kit is engineered for ease of use, offering a straightforward self-collection or assisted collection process that can be completed in under 2 minutes. It is suitable for use with individuals of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and elderly individuals, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of research and clinical applications

Additional Info:

• Swab-free sample transport: Decrease sample processing time without compromising sample integrity
• Increase process efficiency: Extended shelf life stability (up to 4 weeks at room temp, several years at -20 C and -80 C), reduced processing time, and minimal storage footprint
• High quality RNA for downstream applications such as RT-PCR, Microarray and RNA-seq for gene expression analysis
• Room temperature stable: Reduce sample storage and transport costs by eliminating cold chain requirements
• Self collection or assisted collection in less than 2 minutes: Suitable for all population segments including infants, toddlers, and elderly
• Traceable and reliable chain of custody: LIMS compatible unique bar­codes included on each collection device for efficient traceability and storage purposes
• Scalable and easy to process: Manual and automation friendly sample processing

The iSWAB™-RNA-v2 Collection Kit addresses common challenges in RNA sample collection and stabilization, providing a dependable solution for researchers and clinicians seeking to ensure the highest quality of RNA samples for their studies. With its user-friendly design and robust performance, this kit is an essential tool for advancing RNA-based research and diagnostics.
