product faq
Q1: What is the shelf life of the kit?
1 year
Q2: What sample types is the kit compatible with?
Swab 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 swab is placed into the tube.
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).
