Product Description
Shipping and storing urine without refrigeration becomes practical when nucleic acids are stabilized right at collection. This Zymo Research buffer preserves DNA and RNA in urine at ambient temperature and can be added to any urine collection device, removing the need for cold chain logistics or specialized equipment.
This listing is for catalog number D3061-1-8: Urine Conditioning Buffer, 8 mL. Beyond stabilizing nucleic acids, the buffer inhibits microbial growth so the urine microbiome profile reflects the moment of collection. Samples stored in it can be processed directly, without removing the reagent, using most DNA and RNA purification kits. It is offered in 8 ml and 140 ml volumes for single studies or larger collection programs. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.

- Microbiome preservation – Inhibits microbial growth to keep the profile at collection.
- Direct extraction – No reagent removal needed before purification with most kits.
