Imagine a system that can collect, preserve, transport and purify DNA from saliva, in a single container, at room temperature!

DNA Genotek™ have developed the Oragene™ DNA Collection system, a compact, robust design ideal for storage and mailing. Perfect for customers who are conducting large-scale population studies requiring an easy way to collect samples from a highly distributed population.

Here are some of the testimonials from satisfied customers.

“The results are amazing. The yield is so surprisingly high, we got 100, 300 and 400 micrograms of DNA from these samples.”
Mehdi Keddache, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Medical Centre, Sequencing Services Co-Ordinator.

“We obtained near perfect DNA human identification profiling results under very demanding field conditions and as a bonus, reduced our extraction time by a factor of 8 and increased total DNA yields by a factor of 30.”
Dr. Ruth Ballard, CaliforniaStateUniversity.

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.
