DNA Sample Collection Devices: iSWAB™ Microbiome (MAWI)

'Viral RNA stable at room temperature for up to 21 days'

iSWAB™ Microbiome Collection Kits from MAWI provide:

• Safer handling and fewer bio-hazard precautions
• Any swab can be used
• Validated by the CDC for collection of Coronavirus samples, due to its property of inactivating the virus and not requiring cold chain shipment.

The iSWAB-Microbiome (MB) is a non-toxic stabilizing technology that enables inactivation of bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses, allows ambient collection and transport of various biosamples, and maintains the status quo at the time of collection. iSWAB-MB provides a representative snapshot of the microbial community that remains unchanged from collection to processing of oral, gut/fecal, skin, vaginal, and soil samples. Purified microbial DNA or RNA isolated from collected samples are compatible with qPCR, microarray, and NGS for microbiome research in health, wellness, and forensics.

• Non-toxic stabilization; no organic, hazardous solvent fixatives or detergents
• Microbial presentation maintained intact from time of collection for weeks at room temperature
• No bloom effect correction needed for microbiome data
• Ambient temperature transport and storage with no cold chain involvement
• The stabilization buffer efficiently inactivates bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses allowing safe transport of samples
• Purified bacterial DNA or RNA isolated from collected samples are compatible with qPCR, microarray and NGS based applications
• Scalable and customizable platform capable of stabilizing up to 20g of fecal or soil material in standard collection containers.
