SAMPLE STABILIZATION AND STORAGE

GenTegra-developed products include sample collection technology for a wide variety of applications including  Tissue sample collection for RNAseq, genomics and transcriptomics, DNA for forensic analysis from crime scenes, or whole blood for dried blood spot analysis and storage. Sample stability enabled by GenTegra Active Chemical Protection™ has a significant impact on outcomes and decisions in clinical, research and other applications. GenTegra RNA products are designed to protect biological samples from degradation beginning at the point of sample collection through analysis and allows for decades of storage at room temperature: RNA Protection from Beginning to End™

GenTegra Nucleic Acid Stabilization Products

GenTegra RNAdvantage™

GenTegra RNAdvantage is a non-toxic solution that permeates tissue samples easily to better stabilize the RNA and yield RIN values ≥ 7. RNAdvantage consistently yields RNA with RIN scores that are ≥ 1 better than RNAlater. More importantly, the RIN values when using RNAdvantage are at or above the desired RIN value of ≥7, ensuring excellent RNAseq results

GenTegra RNAssure

RNAssure provides robust, reliable RNA protection against all RNases as well as exposure to oxidation. Maximum RNA protection is achieved by treating purified RNA samples with RNAssure as soon as they are isolated. With RNAssure, RNA can be protected even at room temperature, eliminating the concern that RNA may degrade during routine experimental protocols or due to catastrophic freezer failure. RNAssure easily integrates into extraction and purification kits from all major life science manufacturers. RNAssure protected samples can be used directly in downstream applications without the need for further purification.

GenTegra Nucleic Acid stabilization products provide unparalleled protection of purified RNA and DNA, eliminating the need for cold chain shipment and storage.
