For storage of tissues and cells
Biomatrica has launched DNAgard, a room temperature-based liquid formulation for stabilisation and storage of tissues and cells. The new DNAgard product is solutions for room-temperature storage, archiving, stabilisation and transportation of biological samples.
DNAgard utilises Biomatrica’s SampleMatrix technology platform, which makes transport and storage of tissue and cells at room temperature simple. With the new solution the tissues and cells can be stored for 60 days in a liquid format at room temperature.
Laurent Coulon, product manager at Biomatrica, said: “This is an optimal biostability solution for sample collection, storage and shipping, particularly for field researchers, where freezers and dry ice are a challenge. Researchers can now easily, safely and cost effectively transport their field collections of biological samples to the lab without fear of sample quality degradation. Room temperature bio-sample storage is also very economical and an eco-friendly solution.”
