• Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
• Reliable and cost-effective
• Non-invasive, user-friendly sample collection
• Sample collection and preservation in one convenient kit
• Samples are non-infectious and can be handled and shipped safely
• Preserved DNA is stable for 2 years at ambient temperature
• High quality DNA is suitable for sensitive downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, sequencing, SNP analysis, microarrays, RFLP and Southern Blot Analysis
• Shipping accessories can be purchased separately

Norgen’s Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices are designed for 1) simple and non-invasive saliva collection and 2) preservation of DNA in saliva samples at ambient temperature. Each of the 50 Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices consists of 3 components: (1) Saliva Collection Funnel and Collection Tube, (2) Collection Tube Cap, and (3) Norgen’s Saliva DNA Preservative contained within a sealed squeezable ampoule. 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 DNA isolation and analysis. DNA can be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s Saliva DNA Isolation Kit (Cat# Dx45400). 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 DNA in preserved samples is stable for more than 2 years at room temperature. This kit is ideal for collecting and preserving DNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use for medical purposes.

Saliva DNA Preservative

Norgen’s Saliva DNA Preservative is an aqueous storage buffer designed for rapid cellular lysis and subsequent preservation of DNA from fresh specimens. The buffer 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 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 more than 2 years without any detectable DNA degradation.

DNA Isolation from Preservative

Prior to saliva DNA isolation, vortex the Collection Tube containing preserved saliva for 10 seconds and incubate at 55°C for one hour.  Saliva DNA can now be isolated from the preserved saliva samples using Norgen’s spin-column based Saliva DNA Isolation Kit Dx (Cat# Dx45400) or other commercially available methods that have been validated for use with Norgen’s Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices.

NOTE: This product is not available for sale in the United States.

Overview

Pierceable adhesive aluminium foil with strong adhesive. Seal is peelable and suitable for high-temperature applications too.

• This aluminium foil seal has a strong acrylic adhesive which produces a seal of high integrity
• It was developed for PCR and other high-temperature applications due to its effectiveness in preventing sample evaporation
• The QuickSeal Foil PCR Seal is pierceable; when pierced, the foil tears in an irregular manner which prevents the formation of a vacuum
• It also has perforated end tabs for easy application and removal by peeling
• For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or QuickSeal A2000 Auto Sealer

Overview

• Detection kits for CMV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) or Human betaherpesvirus 5 (HHV-5) is a member of the Family Orthoherpesviridae. HCMV belongs to the betaherpesvirinae subfamily, while other herpesviruses fall into the subfamilies of Alphaherpesvirinae (including HSV 1 and 2 and varicella) or Gammaherpesvirinae (including Epstein-Barr virus). All herpes viruses share a characteristic ability to remain latent within the body over long periods of time. While CMV can be found in numerous body fluids including urine, saliva, breast milk, blood, tears, semen, and vaginal fluids, urine samples are generally used for congenital HCMV infection screening due to high viruria observed in infected infants.
