    Collection and stabilization kits for microbial DNA and viral RNA including SARS-CoV-2 from saliva

    Collect and stabilize bacterial and viral nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from saliva using a validated, CE-marked device for in vitro diagnostic use.

    OMNIgene•ORAL | OME-505 (CE-IVD marked)

    All-in-one system for the collection and rapid stabilization of microbial DNA and RNA.

    OMNIgene®•ORAL is an all-in-one solution for collection, stabilization, storage and transportation of saliva samples at ambient temperature for the detection of viral and bacterial targets (DNA and RNA).

    Collection and stabilization kits for microbial DNA and viral RNA including SARS-CoV-2 from saliva.

    Key features and benefits

    • Stabilize DNA and RNA for target detection at room temperature
    • Maintains sample integrity throughout temperature fluctuations encountered during real-life shipping and handling conditions (e.g., -20°C to +50°C)
    • Eliminate the need for post-collection freezer storage and cold-chain transport
    • At-home collection of saliva samples without the challenges associated with clinical or hospital settings
    • Simultaneous detection of DNA and RNA from bacteria and viruses all from one sample
    • Improve donor compliance and maximize successful sample collections with intuitive and validated instructions
    • Yields compatible with qPCR & RT-qPCR assays
    • Bar coded for full sample traceability (128C format)

    Safe collection and inactivation of SARS-CoV-2¹

    • Room temperature stability for the detection of SARS-CoV-2
    • 99% inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in collected and stabilized samples
