- Self-collect high quality DNA from low microbial biomass skin sites (dry, wet or sebaceous)
- Stabilize bacterial and fungal profiles at point-of-collection from all skin types
- Eliminate the need for immediate freezer storage and cold-chain transport with 30 days ambient temperature stability
- Capture a true representation of the microbial composition by minimizing biases introduced by microbial growth and DNA degradation
- Consistently isolate high quality DNA suitable for PCR, 16S, ITS2 and shotgun metagenomic sequencing
- Improve donor compliance and maximize successful sample collections with intuitive and validated instructions
- Maintains microbial profile throughout temperature fluctuations encountered during real-life shipping and handling conditions (e.g., -20°C to +50°C)
- Minimize downstream analysis noise with a low bioburden collection kit
