The Isohelix range of DNA Buccal Swabs has been specifically designed to give increased yields of high quality buccal cell and genomic DNA. Buccal cell sampling offers a viable alternative to blood collection and, together with the Isohelix range of DNA Isolation and Stabilisation kits, enables high yields of pure, intact DNA to be collected easily and quickly.
Isohelix DNA swabs are suitable for both human and veterinary use and offer significant advantages over other DNA swab designs in terms of efficiency of cell collection by the unique swab matrix, which combined with a quick release surface, maximises yields of DNA. Swab batches are ethylene oxide treated and routinely tested for human DNA contamination.

Product Codes
SK-1S
The Isohelix SK-1S DNA swab uses the unique swab matrix design to efficiently collect buccal cell samples.
Following sampling you simply snap the shaft just above the swab head and place into the tube provided, then seal for containment.
DNA Buccal Swab Pack:
1 buccal swab with 5ml tube and cap
SK-2S
The SK-2S has the same features as the SK-1S except that it includes a unique cap design which allows you to simply push the entire swab head from off the shaft into the collection tube after sampling.
This format has the advantage of being easier to manipulate at the DNA isolation stage whether using manual or HT extraction methods.
DNA Buccal Swab Pack:
1 buccal swab with 2ml tube and special release cap
SK-3S, SK-4S & SK-5S
The SK-3S, SK-4S and SK-5S formats all use the same design and materials used in the SK-1S and SK-2S formats, and have exactly the same advantages for efficiently collecting buccal cell samples.
Like the SK-1S, you can quickly snap the shaft at the breakpoint if you wish to store the swab in a tube. If this is your preferred method, Cell Projects has available pre capped tubes that can be ordered with these formats.
SK-3S: 1 Buccal Swab per wrapper
SK-4S: 2 Buccal Swabs per wrapper
SK-4S: 3 Buccal Swabs per wrapper
