This data comes at a critical time as Monkeypox cases continue to climb

worldwide and scientists are seeking methods to safely collect and transport

samples without compromising the genetic integrity. Monkeypox testing is

primarily performed via PCR from a swabbed lesion.

The DNA/RNA Shield(TM) product line includes sample collection, preservation,

and transportation devices for specimens used in research and infectious

disease testing workflows. DNA/RNA Shield(TM) has enabled researchers to

conduct infectious disease research and testing over the past decade, including

throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zymo Research offers several devices that can be filled with DNA/RNA

Shield(TM), including the popular SafeCollect(TM) Swab Collection Kit. The

SafeCollect(TM) Swab Collection Kits contain a collection swab and a patented

tube that features a safety seal to prevent accidental spillage, contact,

and/or ingestion of the sample stabilization medium, making it ideal for

at-home sample collection.
