Various sample collection devices

Sample collection and preservation

All great science starts with great sample collection. The quality of the samples is critical to the accuracy and reliability of research results. Products from Zymo Research make the process of transporting and collecting samples simple. Their collection devices and kits are meticulously designed to enhance the precision and reliability of your research. Zymo offers sample collection kits and devices using ground-breaking reagent technology to protect nucleic acids for analysis and storage.

Zymo's portfolio includes collection tubes and devices for a variety of sample types, such as:

  • Blood
  • Saliva
  • Feces and urine
  • Samples from mouth, nose, and throat
  • Vaginal samples
  • Skin, other tissues, wounds
  • Water, soil, sludge, other environmental samples

Zymo's DNA/RNA Shield™ Reagent is a DNA and RNA stabilization solution for nucleic acids in any biological sample. This solution preserves the genetic integrity and expression profiles of samples at ambient temperatures and completely inactivates viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The unique DNA and RNA stabilization solution also prevents degradation from freeze-thaw cycling and unexpected freezer failures.
