Isohelix™ RapiDri™ Buccal Swabs with Self-Drying Pouch
The new RapiDri™ Swab kit contains the original, widely published Isohelix™ DNA Buccal Swab which is proven to give increased yields of high quality buccal cell and genomic DNA, together with the new moisture wicking RapiDri™ Pouch, and barcoded sealing label.
Once placed into the RapiDri™ pouch, the microporous membrane quickly and actively dries the swab. This in turn fully stabilizes the DNA on the swab matrix, thereby protecting the DNA, its maximal yield and integrity. In our laboratories the stability and DNA preservation has been tested to be at least 3 months at ambient and in many cases considerably longer.
The RapiDri™ pouch also protects the DNA from cross contamination by acting as a physical transport pack to protect the DNA sample. As importantly, it actively repels any accidental wetting from the outside due to the pouch’s hydrophobic structure which protects from any possible backward cross flow contamination.
The entire contents are Ethylene Oxide treated and routinely tested for human DNA contamination.
