Device Information:

• Benefits:
• Improve donor compliance with intuitive and user-friendly collection
• Minimize bias introduced by microbial growth and DNA degradation
• Maintain DNA integrity in typical ambient temperature fluctuations (e.g., -20°C to 50°C) for 60 days
• Eliminate the costs associated with temperature controlled shipping - no cold chain transportation required
• Eliminate need for weighing and aliquot bias with a standard volumetric sample
• Minimize noise in your data analysis with reliable microbiota profile that accurately represent the in vivo state
• Standard sample input is ideal for manual or high-throughput, automated processing
• Obtain high quality DNA suitable for 16S rRNA Microbiome profiling, Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing, qPCR and arrays
