Large usage of GenTegra-RNA means automation and product formats that support the automation requirements. This means ten packs of GenTegra microplates GTR4010-P or ten packs of 2D 96-tube racks GTR1010-BC. Both these formats lend well to the automation of purification and adding GenTegra-RNA, 96 samples at a time. If you are considering the use of GenTegra-RNA in an existing automated protocol, contact use for assistance in making the addition of GenTegra-RNA both quick and simple. Significant price reductions are available for large volume users of GenTegra-RNA.

Independent studies now show that using GenTegra-RNA to protect the RNA sample during shipping protects the RNA better than shipping on dry ice. The instant GenTegra-RNA is added to the purified RNA solution it begins to protect the RNA even in liquid form. With GenTegra-RNA added the solution may be used at room temperature for up to 48 hours without fear of RNA degradation. After the 48 hours the samples is dried and is now ready for long term storage or for shipping. When using GenTegra-RNA to ship samples between laboratories the savings in shipping costs will more than pay the costs of the GenTegra-RNA.

All GenTegra-RNA products have a shelf life of greater than 3-years at ambient temperatures.

The most convenient product format for the small laboratory is the 100, 0.5 ml screw cap tube package, GTR5100-S, which is delivered in four sealed envelopes of 25 tubes each. This format is perfect for shipping samples between laboratories and for storing small numbers of RNA samples for later use.

When the number of samples begins to reach a level where automation might be being considered then GenTegra-RNA in a 96-well microplate or a 96-tube rack may be a better fit to need. GTR4001-P and GTR1001 are both formats that match the standard 96 well microplate design and make handling larger numbers of samples easier. At this point it may also be reasonable to consider using the GTR100-B which is our bulk format that makes enough solution to add to 100 samples of RNA in any tube format you may be using.

If you would like to evaluate GenTegra-RNA in your laboratory, simply request a three tube evaluation kit GTR5003-S and we are happy to provide it at no charge. We do ask you to pay the shipping costs.

When the number of samples begins to reach a level where automation might be being considered then GenTegra-DNA in a 96-well microplate or a 96-tube rack may be a better fit to need. GTD4001-P and GTD1001 are both formats that match the standard 96 well microplate design and make handling larger numbers of samples easier. At this point it may also be reasonable to consider using the GTD100-B which is our bulk format that makes enough solution to add to 100 samples of DNA in any tube format you may be using.

If you would like to evaluate GenTegra-DNA in your laboratory, simply request a three-tube evaluation kit GTD2003-S and we are happy to provide it at no charge. We do ask you to pay the shipping costs.

Biobanking has begun to stabilize on the use of 2D barcode tubes to provide absolutely positive identification of each and every samples. GenTegra-DNA can be provided in the 2D barcode tube format with each tube already containing GenTegra-DNA or we can supply the GenTegra-DNA in the large bulk format and the automation system adds the GenTegra-DNA to the 2D barcoded tubes at the appropriate step in the automate process.

If you are considering the use of GenTegra-DNA in an existing automated protocol, contact use for assistance in making the addition of GenTegra-DNA both quick and simple. Pricing is such the GenTegra-DNA when used by a biobank to replace freezer storage the long-term cost saving are significant and ambient storage reduces storage space requirements for 30% to 300% depending upon the operation of the biobank. GenTegra offers a free consultation for any biobank or large use laboratory that wishes to investigate the cost and space saving of using GenTegra-DNA for the long term protect of their purified DNA samples.

The GenSolve kit recovers double stranded DNA from paper spotted with blood or other biological liquids, regardless of storage time, for subsequent purification. DNA can be efficiently recovered at higher yield from treated paper, i.e. FTA, and untreated paper, i.e. Guthrie cards than using other techniques.

The GenSolve reagents coupled with recovery process enhances digestion of dried biological material and liberates more bound DNA from the paper. The resulting lysate, which is a mixture of DNA, cellular debris and FTA chemicals, if applicable, is then applied directly to your purification kit of choice. Using the GenSolve chemistry will yield highest levels of DNA no matter what your choice of purification kit.

Our most popular GenPlate format is the 24 region GenPlate that stores blood spots from 24 subjects and each subject has 4 replicates stored on the GenPlate. All current sequencing technologies can now do deep whole genome sequencing on the DNA extracted from on 6 mm disc. And all the extra DNA is often put onto GenTegra-DNA to preserve it for later use as need. The four replicates ensure that another sample is always available when needed.

Dried blood spots on FTA paper require storage in a humidity controlled environment to ensure the samples are properly protected from future contamination. GenTegra also supplies cabinets and archives that provide active humidity control for the storage of GenPlates. Each GenPlate has a unique barcode on it and the Personal Archive offers a storage cabinet that provides a unique 2D barcode for each and every storage location within the archive.

This FastDryer (GVGT-6000) is a larger version that can hold up to six standard microplates, cluster tube racks or GenPlates. It also holds up to 144, o.5 ml, screw cap tubes. Most samples of ≤ 50 µl will be dried overnight and be ready for storage in the morning. The FastDryer has been tested and shows no carryover between samples.
