Overview
- CE-IVDR marked in accordance with the European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2017/746.
- Ideal for use in in vitro diagnostic workflows
- Sample collection is non-invasive and painless
- Fast and easy processing using a rapid spin-column format
- Isolate high quality genomic DNA to be used in downstream in vitro diagnostic applications
- Compatible with preserved saliva samples collected using Norgen’s Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices, as well as fresh saliva samples
This kit provides a fast and simple spin column procedure for isolating genomic DNA from saliva samples collected and preserved using Norgen’s Saliva DNA Collection and Preservation Devices (Cat. 49000), as well as fresh saliva samples.
Saliva DNA purified using Norgen’s Saliva DNA Isolation Kit Dx kit is of the highest quality, and can be used with any downstream in vitro diagnostic application employing enzymatic amplification or other enzymatic modifications of DNA followed by signal detection or amplification.
Background
Saliva represents an excellent non-invasive alternative to blood collection. Human genomic DNA extracted from buccal epithelial cells and white blood cells found in saliva can be used in various applications in diagnostics. Saliva DNA can be used for the detection of biomarkers to diagnose a disease, follow the diseases progress or monitor the effects of a particular treatment. Saliva DNA can also be used to diagnose particular types of infections. Isolation of DNA from saliva has become an attractive alternative to isolation from blood or tissue due to the fact that sample collection is non-invasive, the samples can be collected by individuals with little training, and no special equipment is required. Norgen’s Saliva DNA Isolation Kit provides a fast and simple procedure for isolating genomic DNA from both preserved saliva samples and fresh saliva samples.
