The growing number of technology companies and drive-through COVID-19 test
sites requiring consumers to collect their own samples has brought scrutiny to
the deployment of traditional sample collection devices. To address this need,
the scientists and engineers at Zymo Research developed SafeCollect(TM), a
specially engineered at-home sample collection device that provides user safety
and ease of use for consistent sampling. The SafeCollect(TM) Sample Collection
Kits' patented tube features a safety seal that prevents accidental spillage,
contact, and/or ingestion of the sample stabilization medium.
SafeCollect(TM) devices are filled with Zymo Research's proprietary DNA/RNA
Shield(TM) (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3275723-1&h=1361917899&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zymoresearch.com%2Fpages%2Fshield-510k%3Futm_source%3DPRNewswire%26utm_medium%3DPress_Release%26utm_campaign%3DSafeCollect_Launch_09.01.21%26utm_content%3DShield_510K_pag&a=DNA%2FRNA+Shield) stabilization solution that preserves DNA and RNA at ambient temperature for
at least 30 days. Such preservation is not only economical but also vital when
shipping samples where expensive dry ice and other cold shipping methods are
not available or permitted. DNA/RNA Shield(TM) was the first 510(k) cleared
transport medium for collection, preservation, and inactivation for SARS-CoV-2,
which provides an additional layer of protection for those who come into direct
contact with samples, including couriers and laboratory personnel.
"At-home testing and self-collection of biological specimens are no longer
reserved for niche consumer genetic tests but will be essential to facilitating
broad information-based screening and surveillance efforts as well as being a
critical aspect of the emerging telehealth market," said Dr. Stanislav Forman
of Zymo Research. "The SafeCollect(TM) Sample Collection Kits were developed to
help meet this demand without compromising customer convenience or safety,
while also safeguarding collected sample integrity for robust analysis. We
wanted to create a new standard in sample collection with the SafeCollect(TM)
product line."
