OmniSwab capabilities

OmniSwab is a sterile buccal cell collection swab used for reference sample collection. The absorbent material is specifically designed for buccal cell and saliva collection. OmniSwab has an ejectable head that facilitates oral sampling and enables DNA extraction directly from the swab head using standard purification protocols.

1. Swab head ejects easily for convenient DNA extraction
2. Absorbent material increases buccal cell concentrations to give high quality results
3. Gamma irradiation ensures sterility
4. OmniSwab is compatible with standard STR amplification chemistries

OmniSwab collection swabs are individually packaged in a clean-room environment and sterilized by gamma irradiation. They can be incorporated into custom kits for buccal and saliva sample collection or purchased separately.

Sterile Foam Applicators

Sterile Foam Applicators for the non-abrasive collection of buccal cells and saliva for simple transfer to e.g. QIAcard FTA card formats for DNA typing applications. Swab head is the same size as the sample area on QIAcard FTA Cards to facilitate sample application.

The OmniSwab is suitable for the collection of:

1. DNA database samples
2. Paternity samples
3. DNA reference samples
4. Other human identity testing applications
