Robust Solution for DNA Extraction and Purification from Saliva

Beckman Coulter Genomics has developed a new version of the DNAdvance System for use with DNA Genotek’s Oragene®•DNA samples. DNAdvance SP, from Beckman Coulter Genomics, is an extraction kit for the isolation and purification of DNA from saliva samples collected with DNA Genotek’s Oragene•DNA Self Collection Kits.

The high throughput genomic DNA (gDNA) isolation reagent system enables the purification of high-quality DNA from saliva samples, making it ideal for genotyping applications (SNP, fragment analysis), sequencing and qPCR. The system provides researchers and laboratories with an optimized and robust solution for DNA extraction and purification from saliva collected with Oragene•DNA Self Collection Kits.

Oragene•DNA is an all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization, transportation and purification of DNA from saliva that enables easy, reliable and cost effective collection of samples from large numbers of individuals while providing high-quality DNA.

“We chose to develop DNAdvance SP for Oragene•DNA samples because more and more of our customers are using this proven, non-invasive collection method,” said Bassam El-Fahmawi, product manager at Beckman Coulter Genomics. “Customers will see the benefits of the collaboration in the consistent, high quality results delivered by the system.”

“The development of the DNAdvance SP System is a clear sign of the growing interest in non-invasive DNA sample collection in the scientific community,” said Cindy MacCullough, vice president of marketing, DNA Genotek. “There’s an increasing demand for automated extractions from our customer base and the DNAdvance SP System provides a streamlined extraction process that delivers predictable, quality yields for Oragene•DNA.”
