Integrity of your DNA/RNA samples

No DNA/RNA extraction required - Direct PCR compatible 

Obtaining accurate and precise gene quantification results from biological samples requires a carefully validated pre-analytical process for collection, shipment, storage, and optional purification of the analytes of interest, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. Also, the safety of the healthcare professional and the laboratory operator is important, considering that specimens may contain infectious pathogens.

DNA/RNA Defend

Non complete inactivation, slowly virus inactivation, no compatibility with direct PCR (laborious and costly purification), denaturation of proteins or destruction of antigens. Do you sympathise with any of the challenges?

We offer three complementary sample preservation buffers that provide a powerful and flexible solution to protect any biological sample (tissue or biofluid) in function of the intended downstream applications. We offer it as:

  • Research-use-only 
  • CE-IVDR product

It is compatible to any sample type just like tissue, saliva, sputum, blood, swab and urine. Besides, it is alsy possible to preserve insects and microbial communities. 

preserve dna and rna integrity for ngs and pcr

  • Protects DNA and RNA for multplie freeze-draw cycles. 
  • Stable at 1 week at 37 degrees, 1 month at RT or fridge, and indefinetly at -20. 
  • Compatible with most nucleic acid purification kits.
  • Compatible with high throughput workflows. 

The DNA, RNA Defend PRO

Save time and cost associated with extraction

The DNA, RNA Defend solution preserves the native structure of proteins and antigens and enables direct PCR. Therefore, no DNA or RNA purification is required. Thus, the lysed sample can be incorporated into a qPCR or dPCR reaction.

Both buffers also preserve proteins and antigens, enabling a quick antigen or ELISA test, followed by a RT-qPCR (either or not on purified nucleic acids) using the exact same sample. 

Also, food and feed samples, just like single cells, ready for downstream molecular analyses such as single cell RNA sequencing or single cell RT-qPCR or RT-dPCR.

Nuclease-free water

The use of ultrapure (type 1), nuclease-free water is essential to prevent loss of DNA and RNA in samples in downstream applications such as PCR, cDNA synthesis, nucleic acid purification, sequencing, cloning and molecular biology and (stem) cell culture applications.

  • Prepared in a 3-step process which produces DNase-free and RNase-free, deionized water to the highest standards.

  • Quality tested and suitable for all experiments requiring nuclease-free water.

  • Batch-to-batch consistency.
  • Free of mycoplasms.
  • ISO13485 certified.

InActiv Blue
