    Clinical Diagnostics

    Human Genomics

    Genetic testing starts with the collection of nucleic acids.

    Collect superior samples for molecular detection of nucleic acids.

    All genetic testing and personalized medicine start with the collection of nucleic acids. Simplifying collection and ensuring high quality samples are the best ways to optimize clinical sampling and the validity of test results.

    DNA Genotek's clinical diagnostic products are ideal for any clinical application that requires DNA to derive a result. The products offer an all-in-one system for reliable collection, stabilization and transportation of high quality samples.

    Benefits for the patient:

    • Improved patient care, convenience and compliance with easy-to-use sample collection
    • Option to collect in clinic, at point-of-care or at home with self-collection kits and ambient temperature sample stability
    • Ideal for all patients, including children or patients that cannot comply with traditional collection methods

    Benefits for the lab:

    • DNA Genotek’s sample products are validated to perform on a wide range of molecular tests
    • Increase efficiency, minimize sample handling and reduce handling errors with compatible formats for high-throughput processing
    • Lab integration services available to optimize sample processing and reduce validation time and costs

    Benefits for the test manufacturer:

    • Speed time to market with validated sample products and decrease overall cost structure
    • High-quality sample collection device that is scientifically validated
    • Access patient samples at point-of-care and eliminate the need for phlebotomy costs and infrastructure
    • Improve efficiency, cut costs and increase the number of tests conducted by offering a completely non-invasive, regulatory compliant and easy-to-use sample collection method
    • Leverage experience and expertise in customization, lab integration and sample management through DNA Genotek services

    DNA Genotek products can be fully customized to streamline operational workflows and branding requirements. Learn more about product customizations.

    Blood samples are invasive to collect, impacting donor compliance. Blood is also complex and costly to ship, store and process. Buccal swabs provide a low quality and quantity of DNA and RNA, typically resulting in failed samples and a requirement to recollect, incurring additional cost, effort and time.

    The Oragene product line is ideal for any clinical application that requires DNA to derive a result and offers an all-in-one system for collection, stabilization and transportation of DNA from saliva.

    Impact of sample type (blood vs saliva) and analytical methods on NGS data quality.
