Sampling from saliva and oral cavity .

The OMNIgene® ORAL product line includes several kits for collecting samples of the oral microbiome.

The kits are especially suited for self-testing. DNA and RNA are stabilized so well within the tube that no cold chain is required during storage and transportation.

Detection of SARS-COV-2 from saliva

Cq values for SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR targets N1, N2, and RP at day 0 (purple), day 7 (blue), and day 21 (orange) in low-positive (500 cp/ml, N = 15) and high-positive (2,500 cp/ml, N = 14) enriched saliva samples. The dotted line indicates the detection limit. If no amplification was detected, the cq was set to 45 (maximum cq) for visualization. Statistical significance was determined using a two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s test for multiple comparisons.

Detection of viral RNA

OMNIgene ORAL OME-505 is ideal for the collection and stabilization of saliva samples. Even after 21 days of storage at room temperature, still the smallest amounts of viral RNA can be detected.

Malaria detection

OMNIgene ORAL products offer a painless, non-invasive alternative to blood collection for the detection of circulating Plasmodium falciparum or P. vivax.

Outstanding stability .

DNA and RNA in the sample are stable for a long time at room temperature in OMR-110, OMR-120, OM-501 and OME-505 kits. This simplifies the transport chain and prevents microbiome profile distortion caused by microbial growth or nucleic acid degradation.

Realistic snapshot of the microbiome .

Samples obtained with OMNIgene kits are of excellent quality. The high integrity of the stabilized DNA allows a very realistic representation of the microbiome profile.

From: DNA Genotek. (n.d.). OMNIgene Devices. https://www.dnagenotek.com/ROW/pdf/PD-BR-00202.pdf

Quantifying the effects of pre-analytical factors: microbiome profile differences between technical replicates during sequencing, extraction, sample homogenization, of 3 different kits compared. Analysis was performed with respect to transport (temperature fluctuations between -8°C and +23°C, unstabilized and OMNIgenes) and donor to donor (control).

ORE-100 .

Every expression analysis starts with the collection of RNA samples. ORAcollect® RNA (ORE-100) is an all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization and transport of RNA from saliva for in vitro diagnostics.
