Overview

• Collect from nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, and more
• Completely stabilize microbiota profiles from the point-of-collection
• Minimize bias in data analysis: NGS (Metagenomics/Microbiome), PCR and microarrays
• No need to immediately process samples: ship and store at ambient temperatures
• DNA preservation at room temperature over 2 years
• Renders sample non-infectious for safe and easy shipping
• Compatible with DNA isolation kits and protocols: Optimized isolation procedure using Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit

Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System is designed for collection, ambient storage and transport of DNA from samples collected using a swab, including nasal, buccal, saliva, fecal, skin, surfaces, etc. The Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System contains Norgen’s Swab Preservative in a liquid format. The user simply collects the specimen using the provided swab, and then transfers the swab into the Swab Preservative. The Swab Preservative prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and also inactivates viruses allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely. In addition, the Swab Preservative eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperatures. The components of the Swab Preservative allow DNA samples to be stored at room temperature for over 2 years.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Swab samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Swab Collection and DNA Preservation System are compatible with most DNA isolation methods. Samples stored in the tubes have been used successfully with most of Norgen Biotek’s DNA isolation kits and reagents. An optimized isolation procedure is available as part of Norgen’s Microbiome DNA Isolation Kit (Cat. 64100).

Shelf Life and Handling

When stored at room temperature, unused Norgen Swab Preservative Tubes are stable through to the collect-before date without any reduction in performance. Please see the device insert or tube label for collect-before date.

Description

Formulation of the rabies viral glycoprotein containing a positively charged tail used for association with nucleic acids.  This protein enables the selective delivery of the nucleic acid into neuronal cells.

This peptide is a 29 amino acid fragment derived from rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG). Because neurotropic viruses cross the blood-brain barrier to infect brain cells, the same strategy may be used to enter the central nervous system and deliver siRNA to the brain. This peptide specifically binds to the acetylcholine receptor expressed by neuronal cells.

• NeuroTarget Transfection Agent

NeuroTarget Transfection Agent which is composed of a cation tagged rabies viral glycoprotein (RVG). Experimentally shown to deliver miRNA inside neuronal cell lines containing the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Highly efficient delivery for the modulation of gene expression and cellular engineering.

3,4-Dibromo-Mal-PEG4-amide-DBCO is a PEG linker containing a dibromomaleimide group and a terminal DBCO group. The dibromomaleimide group allows for two points of attachement because both of the bromine atoms can be substituted. The DBCO groups is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions due to its strain promoted high energy. PEG linkers are hydrophilic moieties, therefore the attachment of a PEG linker to a compound increases it’s water solubility properties in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
