Sample Protection and Storage

GenTegra-developed products include sample collection devices for a wide variety of applications including COVID-19 diagnostic testing, RNASeq for 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 devices have a significant impact on outcomes and decisions in clinical, research and other applications. All products include Gentegra’s novel Active Chemical Protection™ (ACP) formulation which is designed to protect biological samples from degradation beginning at the point of collection through analysis and allows for storage at room temperature.

Dry Media Saliva Collection Devices

GenTegra introduces two products for saliva collection and viral RNA stabilization.  GTR-STM™ and GTR-STMdk™ (Direct to PCR). Both products contain GenTegra’s novel Active Chemical Protection™ formula, a proprietary dried media that results in non-dilutive RNA stabilization.  The saliva devices enhance patient comfort, convenience and compliance.
