Product Description
Saliva is one of the easiest samples to collect, as long as the kit keeps the process simple and clean. This Zymo Research kit lets users provide saliva or sputum and stabilize its nucleic acids without handling open preservative, which makes it well suited to at-home self-collection programs.
This listing is for catalog number R1211-10: DNA/RNA Shield SafeCollect Saliva, 2 mL, 10 Pack. The SafeCollect design prevents spills of the DNA/RNA Shield reagent during use. Once the sample is sealed in, Shield completely inactivates harmful pathogens and keeps RNA stable for up to 30 days at room temperature, giving plenty of room for mail-back logistics. Each kit contains a 2 ml fill and is available individually or in packs of 10 or 50. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
