RNA collection kit

for DNAsalivafor nucleic acids

Product Overview
The Saliva Collection Kit Kit 3 provides a non-invasive, validated method for collecting saliva samples intended for DNA and RNA extraction. The system preserves nucleic acids at ambient temperature to simplify short-term storage and transport logistics. The included reagent inactivates pathogens (e.g., bacteria), supporting safer handling and downstream processing. Each 5 mL transport tube is pre-filled with 2 mL of preservation buffer; for long-term storage, samples can be frozen at -20°C or -80°C.

Key Features

• Non-invasive collection: Easy saliva sampling to increase participant compliance and reduce collection training.
• Ambient temperature stability: Buffer stabilizes nucleic acids during storage and transport without refrigeration.
• Pathogen inactivation: Integrated reagent inactivates common pathogens to improve biosafety.
• Pre-filled transport tubes: 5 mL tubes pre-filled with 2 mL preservation buffer for immediate stabilization.
• Compatible with downstream workflows: Suitable for DNA and RNA extraction methods used in research and clinical laboratories.

Applications

• Genetic and genomic research
• Clinical diagnostics and molecular testing
• Epidemiological and population studies
• At‑home sample collection programs
• Biobanking and sample repositories

Contents / Kit Components
1 saliva collector with a 5 mL transport tube pre-filled with 2 mL preservation solution (buffer formulated to preserve nucleic acids at ambient temperature).

Usage Instructions

• 1. Remove the kit from the packaging.
• 2. Produce saliva (e.g., deep cough if required) and deposit into the saliva collector up to the 2 mL mark.
• 3. Add the pre-filled preservation solution from the transport tube into the collector (if applicable) or follow kit-specific mixing instructions.
• 4. Transfer the sample into the transport tube, remove the collector, and securely screw the cap onto the tube.
• 5. Invert the tube several times to ensure the sample and buffer are thoroughly mixed.

Conclusion
The Saliva Collection Kit Kit 3 is designed for clinical and research workflows that require reliable, user-friendly saliva sampling with robust nucleic acid preservation at ambient temperature. It supports safe handling and is compatible with standard DNA/RNA extraction protocols.
