Unique dry-down feature for longer storage at room temperature

For longer storage, samples can be dried down and stored at room temperature for at least 1 year* (*accelerated aging). Dry samples can be easily recovered by simple rehydratation and are ready for DNA extraction. The quality of DNA is preserved by DNAgard, whereas degradation is noticeable if preserved on FTA cards or left unprotected at room temperature (see figure 4).

Figure 4. DNAgard protects DNA from degradation in mammalian cells stored dried at 50 degrees for 2 months (equivalent to 1 year at room temperature based on accelerated aging).
