Sample collection/stabilization and DNA/RNA extraction from swab samples for microbiome or metagenome analyses

Written by Danagel

Good preservation and storage are essential to preserving microorganisms’ genetic material in microbial communities from a wide array of sample inputs and accurately represent the bacterial composition for further analysis and applications.

The objective is to develop a proper preservation and storage medium to preserve DNA and RNA from those microorganisms.

DANAGEN-BIOTED has developed a new product to deal with this problem.

DANASWAB Sample Collection MICROBIOME Kit is designed for the collection, ambient storage and transport from samples collected using a swab wherever a swab may be deemed appropriate per application.
