    Saliva collection kits for high-quality DNA saliva samples enabling genetic diagnostics

    Collect high quality DNA samples for molecular diagnostics

    Genetic testing requires high-quality DNA samples determined by yield and purity. OrageneTM saliva kits are ideal for any clinical diagnostics requiring DNA, offering an all-in-one device for saliva collection, DNA stabilization and transportation of biological samples.

    Saliva samples are an alternative to blood samples, which are invasive, impact donor compliance, and are costly to ship, store, and process. Other DNA collection kits for saliva include buccal swabs, which provide low quality and quantity of DNA, often resulting in repeated collections with multiple buccal swab kits, incurring additional cost, effort and time.

    Saliva vs Blood
    Dna Collection

    OrageneTM•Dx saliva collection kits and ORAcollectTM•Dx saliva collection kits are FDA cleared devices †. They are proven saliva sample collection devices for DNA stabilization, transportation and storage.
