Non-invasive

Alternative to blood draw

hDNAFLOQSwabs® collect painless samples when compared to blood samples collected using hypodermic needles. The non-invasive collection improves the adoption percentage for genetic screenings, such as HLA typing, food intolerances, and ancestry testing.

Preservation

Pairing with eNAT®

Copan hDNAfreeFLOQSwabs® come in dry format or paired with 1 ml of eNAT® medium for a convenient collection, transportation, and preservation of nucleic acids. eNAT medium directly inactivates bacterial proliferation, reducing sample processing steps.
