The oasig freeze drying process stabilises all of the active components allowing these reagents to be shipped and stored at room temperature. This hugely simplifies the logistics of purchasing, shipping and using the technology. Whether you are in a sophisticated laboratory in Texas or a mobile field hospital in Timbuktu we can supply complete qPCR kit and reagent packages to your door quickly and cheaply via standard shipping methods without the need for dry ice or a cold chain of any sort.
The performance of the reagents is second to none. We are confident that you will find excellent data quality and even see an improvement in data quality versus many traditional frozen master mixes.
No cold shipping required. Our unique, oasig Lyophilised qPCR Master Mix in a 150 reaction pack. Perfect to accompany any genesig kit for a DNA target.
Primerdesign real-time PCR reagents are manufactured to the highest standards within our ISO9001:2008 and ISO13485:2012 certified quality management laboratory environment.
Suitable for self-collection of saliva samples supervised by a trained individual in the collection procedure by watching the training video and reading over the collection instructions.
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices Dx are designed for 1) safe and non-invasive supervised self-collection of saliva specimens and 2) preservation of RNA in saliva specimens at ambient temperature. Each of the 50 Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices Dx consists of 3 components: (1) Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube, (2) Collection Tube Cap, and (3) Norgen’s Saliva RNA Preservative contained within a sealed squeezable ampoule. Saliva collection is performed through supervised self-collection. Saliva samples are collected by spitting inside the Collection Funnel which has been assembled with the Collection Tube. After collecting the required volume of saliva the Collection Funnel is removed and the contents of the Preservative Ampoule are then added and mixed with the collected saliva. The Saliva Collection Tube is subsequently sent to the laboratory for RNA isolation and analysis. RNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kits Dx (Cat# Dx69100, Dx69300). Each of Norgen’s Collection Tubes is labeled with a unique serial number that can be used for secure and anonymous tracking of the sample. The saliva RNA in preserved samples is stable for up to 2 months at room temperature. This kit is ideal for collecting and preserving RNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes. This kit can be used to collect and preserve viral RNA, including SARs-CoV-2 RNA for detection of COVID-19.
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Devices Dx do not provide a diagnostic result. It is the sole responsibility of the user to use and validate these devices in conjunction with a downstream in vitro diagnostic assay.
Saliva RNA Preservative
Norgen’s Saliva RNA Preservative is an aqueous storage buffer designed for rapid cellular lysis and subsequent preservation of RNA from fresh saliva specimens. The buffer eliminates the need to immediately process or freeze samples and allows the samples to be shipped to centralized testing facilities at ambient temperature. The components of the buffer allow samples to be stored for up to 2 months at room temperature. The Saliva RNA Preservative also inactivates all bacteria, yeast and viruses present in the saliva sample.
Nucleic Acid Isolation from Preservative
Saliva RNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva/Swab RNA Purification Kits Dx (Cat# Dx69100, Dx69300). To minimize irregularities in diagnostic results, suitable controls for downstream applications should be used.
The Collection Device should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature for up to 2 years without any reduction in kit performance (The collection due date is written on the device label).
Once collected, saliva RNA is stable for up to 2 months when kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature.
The Collection Tube, the Collection Funnel and the Device Container of each individual Saliva RNA Collection and Preservation Device are recyclable.
