"Our goal at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics of developing rapidand large-scale genotyping techniques for identifying genetic variations thatconfer predispositions to human disorders and traits is well served byinnovative technologies such as GenTegra(TM) DNA. Preservation of DNAintegrity in a dry state room temperature environment such as GenTegrabenefits large scale studies and any worldwide genomic community efforts,"said Dr. Mark F. Leppert, Ph.D, Professor and Co-Chair, Department of HumanGenetics, University of Utah.
"Our work at Scripps Translational Science Institute benefits frominnovative technologies such as GenTegra(TM) for storing and transporting DNAsamples with our collaborators. The genotyping results of frozen samples andsamples stored with GenTegra at room temperature were identical, indicatingthat recovered samples were of high purity and quality," said Sarah ShawMurray, Ph.D., Director of Genetics, Scripps Genomic Medicine, The ScrippsTranslational Science Institute.
"Wildlife species conservation efforts are impacted by improvements ingenetic testing and management of increasing numbers of purified DNA samples.GenTegra(TM) DNA Tubes provide an innovative method of storing DNA safely atroom temperature. DNA integrity is preserved and pure, high molecular weightDNA is easily recovered for immediate use in downstream applications. Currentand future studies in our laboratory on large mammals from North America andAfrica will benefit from innovative storage and shipping solutions such asGenTegra DNA," said Natalie Halbert, Ph.D, Research Assistant Professor,Conservation Genetics and Genomics, Texas A&M University.
"Our collaborative initiatives will benefit a great deal from innovativetechnologies like GenTegra, especially in sharing and storage of biosamplesfrom global cohorts. We were pleased with the high yield and quality of theDNA that we recovered from the GenTegra DNA tubes," said Maurine Hobbs, Ph.D.,Assistant Professor, Division of Infectious Diseases at the University ofUtah.
Maintaining DNA integrity as well as simplifying laboratory workflows isno longer a concern with long term storage at room temperature. GenTegra(TM)DNA ensures sample stability and is compatible with the most demandingmolecular assays. GenTegra along with the full suite of GenVault productsprovide smart, environmentally and financially sustainable solutions whichcomplement and enhance existing cryostorage systems.
