Product Description
A single swab kit that works for mouth, nose, throat and beyond simplifies sample collection for molecular testing. These Zymo Research kits pair a swab with a collection tube prefilled with DNA/RNA Shield, providing a general-purpose way to stabilize nucleic acids from almost any site where swabbing is appropriate.
This listing is for catalog number R1106: DNA/RNA Shield Swab & Collection Tube, 10 Pack. Swab the sample, snap the tip off into the tube and cap it; the specimen is then stabilized and ready for transport or storage. Because DNA/RNA Shield preserves nucleic acids and inactivates pathogens, samples stay consistent between collection and extraction. Kits are offered with standard or 2 ml fill volumes in packs of 10 or 50. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
