Mini DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs for Small Vertebrates

Description

Isohelix Mini Swabs – Precision DNA Collection in a Compact Format

The Isohelix Mini Swabs (MS Series) offer a smaller, precision format ideal for situations where a full-size swab is not suitable. These mini buccal swabs feature the same DNA-friendly matrix as the SK swab series, but with a reduced swab head for sampling smaller vertebrates, mammals or smaller volume areas.

Key Features:

• Compact swab head for precise DNA sampling
• Ethylene oxide sterilized for single use
• Supplied with sterile 5 mL transport tubes
• Individually wrapped for sample integrity
• Compatible with standard DNA extraction methods

Applications:

• Small animal or pediatric sampling
• Forensic and field collection kits
• Laboratory use where full swab size is unnecessary

Benefits:

• High DNA yield despite smaller surface area
• Flexible design suited for challenging sampling locations
• Excellent sample stability and transport compatibility

The Isohelix Mini Swab is ideal for researchers and clinicians who require precision DNA sampling for non-human organisms.
