    Collection Instructions

    OMNIgene•GUT | OMR-200

    Summary and explanation of kit

    OMNIgene•GUT provides the materials and instructions for collecting and stabilizing microbial DNA from a fecal sample.

    1

    Empty your bladder before beginning the collection. Collect fecal sample free of urine and toilet water. Toilet paper or tissues may be required.

    2

    While holding the yellow tube top, unscrew ONLY the purple cap from the kit and set aside for later use.

    IMPORTANT:
    Do NOT remove the yellow tube top.
    Do NOT spill the stabilizing liquid in the tube.

    3

    Use the spatula to collect a small amount of fecal sample.

    4

    Transfer the fecal sample into the yellow tube top. Repeat until the sample fills the yellow tube top

    IMPORTANT:
    Do NOT push sample into the tube.

    5

    Scrape horizontally across the tube top to level the sample and remove any excess. Wipe exterior of tube and top with toilet paper or tissue as needed.

    6

    Pick up the purple cap with the solid end facing down and screw onto the yellow tube top until tightly closed.

    7

    Shake the sealed tube as hard and fast as possible in a back and forth motion for a minimum of 30 seconds.

    8

    The fecal sample will be mixed with the stabilizing liquid in the tube; not all particles will dissolve.

    IMPORTANT:
    Continue shaking if large particles remain as shown in Figure A.

    9

    Place spatula in original packaging or wrap in toilet paper and discard in garbage.

    IMPORTANT:
    Send sample for processing following the delivery instructions supplied separately by the kit provider.

    Additional notes

    Warnings and precautions:

    • FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
    • Do NOT remove the yellow tube top from the tube.
    • Do NOT spill the stabilizing liquid in the tube.
    • Wash with water if liquid comes in contact with eyes or skin. Do NOT ingest.
    • If collecting a liquid fecal sample, see separately provided user instructions.
    • Small items may pose a choking hazard.
