PCR-Compatible Oral Cell Collection Cards are designed for the efficient and reliable collection of DNA samples from oral cells, ensuring that the samples are compatible with PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) analysis. These cards preserve the quality of the collected DNA, making them ideal for forensic investigations, genetic testing, and medical diagnostics.
Key Features:
-
PCR Compatibility: Specially formulated to preserve DNA integrity for PCR amplification, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
-
Non-Invasive Collection: Gently collects saliva and epithelial cells from the inside of the cheek using a soft, absorbent swab.
-
DNA Stabilization: Contains preservatives that protect the DNA from degradation, allowing for long-term storage and transport without refrigeration.
-
Sterile and Ready-to-Use: Each card is individually sterile, eliminating the need for additional preparation and reducing the risk of contamination.
-
Compact and Convenient: The cards are portable, easy to store, and perfect for both field and laboratory use, simplifying DNA collection in various settings.
Operational Use:
-
Sample Collection: Use the swab to collect oral cells by rubbing the inside of the cheek. Ensure that the sample is thoroughly collected.
-
Preservation: After collection, place the swab in the PCR-compatible collection card, which stabilizes the DNA for further testing.
-
Storage and Transport: The collection card can be stored at room temperature and is ready for transport to the lab, where the sample can be processed using PCR techniques.
Scope:
These cards are primarily used in forensic investigations, paternity testing, genetic research, and medical diagnostics, where PCR testing is required to analyze DNA samples. They are ideal for both large-scale collection projects and individual testing.
