product faq


Q1: What is the shelf life of the kit?

1 year

Q2: What sample types is the kit compatible with?

Saliva/Sputum samples

Q3: What purification kits can be used with this kit?

Refer to recommended purification kits

Q4: How does SafeCollect work?

The SafeCollect design seals the stabilizing reagent behind a pierceable safety seal. The tube prevents spillage or user contact during the use of the device, only releasing the reagent when the tube is capped.

Q5: Is the SafeCollect device compatible with my downstream molecular process?

The SafeCollect devices are filled with DNA/RNA Shield, which is compatible with most commercially available DNA/RNA extraction/analysis workflows. DNA/RNA Shield is an Inactivating Transport Medium (ITM) and a recipient of a 510(k).
