Product Description

YALEPIC® Swab DNA Storage Tube can greatly increase the collection and release of samples, and enhance the preservation effect of samples during delivery. It can preserve oral swab DNA at room temperature for up to 12 months, and the DNA extracted can be used for downstream gene detection and analysis experiments, such as qPCR, NGS, and SNP analysis. Provide convenience and reduce costs for transportation and storage.

Features

  • Easy to Use: Independently sealed packaging.
  • Safety: Radiation sterilized, with internationally accepted convenient sterilization paper-plastic packaging.
  • Stability: Swab samples collected  can be preserved at -20~35 °C for 2 years.

Storage

Transport at room temperature;

Storage at -20 -35℃  for 2 years.

What populations is this oral swab DNA storage tube suitable for? Is sampling painful?

Suitable for all populations including adults, children, and infants. Using a non-invasive oral mucosa scraping method, no blood draw is needed. It is trauma-free, painless, gentle, and non-irritating, suitable for all ages.

How long can the YS21052 storage tube preserve DNA at room temperature? Will it degrade in hot weather?

Under standard 4-37 degrees C room temperature conditions, oral sample DNA can be stably preserved for up to 2 years. It can withstand short-term summer high-temperature exposure and long-distance logistics high-temperature environments. The specialized preservation fluid effectively inhibits nucleases, preventing DNA degradation and fragmentation.

Does the product require cold chain transport and refrigerated storage?

No cold chain or refrigeration/freezing required. The entire process of transport, sampling, and long-term storage can be completed at 4-37 degrees C room temperature, significantly saving cold chain logistics and storage costs.

How should the swab be handled after sampling? Can the swab head be broken off?

After sampling, break the swab head at the pre-scored breakpoint, completely immerse it in the preservation fluid in the storage tube, and tighten the cap. The operation is simple, requires no additional tools, and effectively prevents sample contamination.

What experimental testing applications can the extracted DNA be used for?

Compatible with the vast majority of downstream molecular biology experiments, including conventional PCR, qPCR, gene chip analysis, next-generation sequencing (NGS), SNP genotyping, genetic disease screening, paternity testing, and more.

What are the product specifications? How many tubes per box? Can bulk purchase and customization be arranged?

Model YS21052 specification is 2 ml/tube, with each tube containing 1 ml of preservation fluid, 50 tubes/box. Bulk procurement by laboratories and testing institutions is supported. Contact customer service for bulk pricing and customization services.

What precautions should be taken before sampling? Will it be affected by diet?

Avoid eating, drinking, chewing gum, or smoking for 30 minutes before sampling. Rinse the mouth with clean water. During sampling, avoid touching teeth or tongue, and only scrape the inner buccal mucosa to ensure adequate sample cell concentration.

What is the shelf life of unopened products? What are the storage requirements?

Unopened original products should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place, with a shelf life of 3 years. Avoid damp, direct sunlight, and hot, stuffy environments. No refrigeration is needed for normal storage.

Is the storage tube leak-proof? Will leakage and contamination occur during transport?

The tube features a screw-sealed leak-proof cap design, with pressure-resistant and drop-resistant tube walls. The sealing performance is excellent, and no leakage or seepage will occur during routine courier transport or bumpy handling. Sample safety is guaranteed.

What are the advantages of this liquid storage tube compared to conventional dry oral swabs?

Conventional dry swabs are susceptible to environmental humidity, bacterial growth, and rapid DNA degradation. This product contains a dedicated DNA preservation fluid that can sterilize, inhibit enzymes, and lock in nucleic acids, with longer preservation periods and higher sample purity. No drying process is needed; samples can be sealed immediately after sampling, suitable for long-distance transport to remote testing facilities.
