Norgen Fecal DNA Collection & Preservation Mini Tubes

Norgen Fecal DNA Collection & Preservation Mini Tubes

SKU: 27650
A rapid and simple method for the preservation of DNA from fresh fecal samples.

Features and Benefits

• Complete System:
  Includes a tube with liquid preservative and glass beads to immediately homogenize hard fecal pellets using a vortex.

• Sample Homogeneity:
  Eliminates sample variability.

• Inactivating:
  Renders samples non-infectious by preventing bacterial/fungal growth and inactivating viruses; eliminates odor.

• Ambient Temperature Preservation:
  Stable DNA preservation for over 2 years.

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

• Robust Preservation:
  Effective across various temperatures.

Applications

• DNA Isolation:
  Compatible with multiple isolation methods, including Norgen’s Stool DNA Isolation Kit.

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

• Metabolomics:
  Stool samples preserved with this preservative are compatible with SCFA and metabolomic analysis according to literature.

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. Bray-Curtis distance towards the reference for each patient grouped by stabilizing solution. Median and 5th-to-95th percentile ranges are shown for both interaliquot and interpatient variability (adapted from Plauzolles et al., 2022).
Norgen is the most similar to frozen stool samples, over 11 other sample collection and storage methods.

Figure 2. Collection of Mouse Fecal Samples
Approximately 30 mg (3–5 droppings) of mouse fecal samples were added to Norgen’s Fecal DNA Collection and Preservation Mini Tubes and briefly vortexed. The preserved samples are ready to ship or for DNA isolation.
