DNA Genotek - Model PERFORMAbiome•GUT | PB-200 - Collect and Stabilize DNA for Quantitative Animal Gut Microbiome Profile Analysis
PERFORMAbiome•GUT is a simple all-in-one system for easy collection and stabilization of DNA for animal microbiome profile analysis.
- Minimize bias introduced by microbial growth and DNA degradation
- Eliminate the costs associated with temperature controlled shipping
- Eliminate need for weighing and aliquot bias with a standard volumetric sample
- Maintain DNA integrity in typical ambient temperature fluctuations (e.g., -20°C to 50°C)
- Minimize noise in your data analysis with reliable microbiota profile
Summary and explanation of the kit: PERFORMAbiome™•GUT provides the materials and instructions for collecting and stabilizing microbial DNA from an animal fecal sample.
Preparation: Have toilet paper or tissues available for the collection.
Warnings and precautions:
- FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY.
- FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
- Do NOT remove the yellow tube top from the tube.
- Do NOT spill the stabilizing liquid in the tube.
- Wash with water if liquid comes in contact with eyes or skin. Do NOT ingest.
- If fecal sample is liquid or animal has diarrhea, wait until the next normal bowel movement to collect.
- Small items may pose a choking hazard.
Mailing Options
The need to collect DNA samples from remote areas requires mailing logistics that can be complicated and costly. To facilitate this process, DNA Genotek has conducted research to create a mailing solution that complies with International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines, while also protecting the collection kit on the way to and from the donor. The solution adheres to IATA regulations specifically for animal specimens for which there is a minimal likelihood that pathogens are present.
Since courier services designated as "ground" may involve an air transport segment, the IATA publications are broadly applicable to both air and ground shipments. To ensure full adherence, we recommend that customers check for any variation based on their local postal service.
Two-way MailerFor commercial applications the two-way mailer is ideal for situations that require a collection kit to be mailed to the customer and return shipped in the same package. The two-way mailer has sufficient space to include additional paperwork if required. Custom return label options are available. Minimal quantities apply.
MO-B provides a complete solution for your mailing studies:
Envelopes and labels: Catalogue number MO-B
- Larger `mail to` mailing envelope (9" x 12")
- Smaller `return` bubble envelope marked "exempt animal specimen" (6" x 10")
- Blank mailing labels (2 per mailing solution)
- Sample Mailing Instructions (1 per mailing solution)
- MO-B kit assembly instructions
MO-5 is a liquid tight bag containing absorbent material to prevent leakage during shipping. The instructions for use and biohazard logo are printed on the bag for easy reference. The narrow shape makes it an ideal solution for transporting tubes.
- Absorbent material in liquid-tight bag sufficient to soak up at least 4mL of liquid.
