Product Description

The Swab VersaKit™ is meticulously engineered to streamline the extraction of high-quality DNA from up to 192 swabs, making it an ideal solution for high-throughput laboratories. Employing a silica-membrane technology, this kit ensures rapid and consistent DNA recovery without the need for traditional organic extraction or alcohol precipitation methods. One of the standout features of this kit is its ability to process samples in less than 2.5 hours, significantly reducing turnaround time compared to conventional methods. The kit’s optimized protocol is specifically tailored for use with air-dried swabs containing plastic shafts and cotton or DACRON tips, although it can accommodate other swab types as well, offering flexibility in sample processing. By leveraging a combination of mechanical disruption and enzymatic lysis, the Swab VersaKit™ effectively removes contaminants and inhibitors, resulting in DNA of exceptional purity and integrity. This purity ensures reliable performance in downstream applications such as PCR, NGS, and genetic disease testing. With its proven performance and versatility, the Swab VersaKit™ is a valuable asset for molecular biology laboratories seeking to maximize throughput while maintaining high-quality results.
