Mantacc 93050V Oropharyngeal Swab Collection Kit

The 93050V oropharyngeal swab kit offers a simple, non-invasive way to collect DNA samples for genetic studies. The kit stabilizes DNA from oral cells on a swab in a liquid buffer. This allows easy self-collection of samples and room temperature storage. DNA stays stable for a minimum of 6 months. The kit standardizes and streamlines sample collection, making it ideal for large research studies requiring DNA analysis. Participants simply swab their mouth, place the swab in the tube, and mail back the sample. Easy and efficient self-collection enables cost-effective, widespread participation to drive genetic discovery.

The undulating head is designed to optimally collect shed oral cells from surfaces like the oral mucosa, tongue coating, and gingiva. With the push-rod mechanism, once sampling is complete, simply depressing the end rod releases the swab head to drop off into the preservative fluid. This allows the stabilized sample to be stored at room temperature for 3 weeks or refrigerated for 6 months.
