Painless No expertise needed No cold chain involvement Painful Requires expertise Handling infrastructure expensive (cold chain transport and storage)
READ MORENon-Invasive Pros and Cons
Traditional non-invasive sample collection has two approaches to try and collect and produce high gDNA recovery. While both methods have benefits, they also have their challenges. Self collection, but limited to individuals capable of producing sufficient saliva Collection solution contains alcohol Yields sheared, short-fragment DNA not optimal for…
READ MOREWhy Buccal Collection is Better Than Saliva/Spit Collection
Saliva Collection is not a Universal Sample Collection Tool: 20% - 46% of the Population Suffers from Dry Mouth Not everybody can produce enough saliva: Collecting 1-2 mL of Saliva within 30 minutes (as required by most saliva collection kits) can be very challenging for…
