Norgen Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation System

Norgen Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation System

SKU: 63700
All-in-one system for rapid and simple collection, preservation, and room temperature storage and shipping of stool samples.

Features and Benefits

• Complete System:
  Includes all necessary components for self-collection of stool samples, including instructions, gloves, alcohol swabs, Fe-col® paper, and collection tube.

• Sample Homogeneity:
  Eliminates sample variability.

• Inactivating:
  Prevents bacterial/fungal growth and inactivates viruses; eliminates odor.

• Ambient Temperature Preservation:
  Stable for over 2 years for DNA and 7 days for RNA at room temperature.

• Cost-Effective:
  No cold shipping or storage required.

• Robust Preservation:
  Effective over a wide temperature range.

• Freezer Compatible:
  Tubes can be stored at -80°C for extended nucleic acid stabilization.

Applications

• DNA and RNA Isolation:
  Compatible with multiple isolation methods, including Norgen’s Stool DNA, RNA, and total nucleic acid isolation kits.

• Microbiome Profiling:
  Reliable and reproducible source for microbial detection or metagenomics analysis via NGS, qPCR, ddPCR, etc.

• Metabolomics:
  Preserved stool samples compatible with SCFA and metabolomic analysis.

Supporting Data

Figure 1. Norgen’s Best-In-Class Preservation
Summary of community shifts in response to stabilizing solutions over a 14-day storage period. Norgen is most similar to frozen stool samples compared to 11 other collection and storage methods.

Figure 2. High Integrity of Preserved DNA and RNA
DNA and RNA were isolated from preserved stool samples stored at room temperature (DNA at 27 months, RNA at 7 days). High integrity stool DNA and RNA were obtained.

Figure 3. Stability of DNA
Adenovirus DNA stabilized up to 21 weeks at ambient temperature.

Figure 4. Hierarchical Clustering at Phylum Level
Preserved stool samples maintained microbial composition similar to fresh stool.

Figure 5. Top 5 Abundant Microorganisms
Preserved stool samples retained microbial profile closer to fresh stool.

Figure 6. Relative Abundance of Bacterial Genera
Preserved stool samples showed high similarity to fresh samples.

Figure 7. Correlation of Metagenomic Reads
Higher consistency observed between fresh and preserved stool samples.
