PCRopsis™ Oral Rinse offers a simple means of collecting and transporting oral samples for direct PCR
PCRopsis™ Oral Rinse is the only such product that offers simple self collection, helps mediate in-transit nucleic acid extraction of bacteria and viruses, and is compatible with direct PCR.”
MAIMI, FLORIDA, USA, October 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- PCRopsis1 LLC, a subsidiary of Entopsis Inc., launched PCRopsis™ Oral Rinse2, a novel device for the collection and transport of oral samples with distinct advantages over alternative approaches. — Obdulio Piloto, Ph.D., CEO of Entopsis Inc.
Oral samples offer a simple, low cost, and user-friendly means of collecting oral samples for a variety of applications; such as, DNA sequencing, respiratory virus testing, oral cancer detection, toxicology, and many others. These samples can be conveniently collected at home and shipped to testing sites.
Key Advantages of PCRopsis™ Oral Rinse over Alternative Approaches:
1. Simple sample collection: safe ingredients allow for self collection of oral samples by swishing the liquid in your mouth – no need for swabs, secondary inactivating reagents, careful mixing of saliva with reagents, or pipettes to transfer small volumes
2. Keeps RNA stable at room temperature up to 7 days, and over 70 days when samples are stored at 4°C or -20°C
3. Makes saliva samples easier to manipulate in the laboratory using pipettes – thereby improving pipetting accuracy
4. Inactivates microorganisms found in the human mouth at room temperature
5. Helps mediate in-transit nucleic acid extraction of bacteria and viruses
6. Allows for direct PCR – components do not inhibit reverse transcriptase or DNA polymerase
PCRopsis™ Oral Rinse is the result of a collaborative research and development effort between PCRopsis LLC, Protean Labs LLC, and Polarity Ventures LLC. This collaboration produced a best in class product, with a variety of unique capabilities for various applications.
