SPINEASY® DNA KIT FOR SALIVA

Description

The use of saliva as a source of DNA over blood samples has become an attractive approach for various
applications ranging from genetic studies to pathogen detection. Unlike blood sampling, saliva collection is an
easy, painless, and non-invasive method which does not require trained personnel for the collection process.
In addition, saliva does not clot, and it is safe to be handled as there is lower risk of pathogen transmission
as compared to other bio-fluid samples. However, storing saliva samples can be problematic. The SPINeasy®
DNA Kit for Saliva from MP Biomedicals makes saliva sampling easier using our specially formulated Saliva
Preservation Solution (SPS) to preserve the sample at room temperature without compromising the quality.
SPINeasy® DNA Kit for Saliva allows DNA from fresh,frozen, or SPS-preserved saliva to be extracted with
a quick and easy protocol, using silica spin-column technology. Purified DNA is recovered with high yield
and purity, suitable for various downstream molecular applications.

Features-
• Specially formulated saliva preservative solution to store saliva samples at room temperature for a
prolonged period
• Simple and effective extraction protocol with high DNA yield and purity
• Isolate gDNA from 25 – 500 µL of saliva with simple procedures
• Purified DNA is ready to be used for downstream application
Extraction Result-
SPINeasy® DNA Kit for Saliva has been optimized to offer superior performance over the competitors’ kits in
both yield and purity, with minimal demand for the amount of sample.

Average DNA yields of saliva samples from five donors. Genomic DNA isolated using SPINeasy® DNA Kit for Saliva and comparable kit from
Competitor S following manufacturer’s recommended protocols. Purified DNA was quantified using spectrophotometer.
