Sample Homogeneity:
Eliminates sample variability.
Inactivating:
Renders the sample non-infectious by preventing bacterial/fungal growth and inactivating viruses; eliminates odor.
Ambient Temperature Preservation:
Preservation for over 2 years for DNA and 7 days for RNA at room temperature.
Cost-Effective:
No cold shipping or storage required.
Robust Preservation:
Effective over a range of temperatures.
Freezer Compatible:
The tubes can be stored at -80°C to extend the stabilization of nucleic acids for longer periods.
DNA and RNA Isolation: Compatible with multiple isolation methods, including Norgen's Stool DNA, RNA and total nucleic acid isolation kits.
Microbiome profiling: A reliable and reproducible source of sample for microbial detection or metagenomics analysis via NGS, qPCR, ddPCR and other applications.
Metabolomics: Preserved stool samples are compatible with SCFA and metabolomic analysis according to literature.

Product Insert |

Each tube contains 4 mL (~4.56 grams) of preservative. The scoop is attached to the tube cap for easily collecting and depositing the sample.
The dimensions of each stool collection tube are 76mm (height) x 20mm (diameter).
Tube material is as follows:
Norgen's Stool DNA Isolation Kit, Stool Total RNA Purification Kit, and Stool Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit can be used with fresh stool samples or samples preserved with Stool Collection and Preservation Tubes.
Yes, the preserved stool is compatible for analyses of all these metabolites. This answer is based on several independent academic research articles that used our preservation system and then analyzed the samples for various metabolites. Please contact our technical support team at support@norgenbiotek.com and ask for reference publications.
Yes, Please contact our technical support team at support@norgenbiotek.com and ask for reference publications.
Yes, microRNA is also preserved after stool is properly homogenized with the preservative. Please contact our technical support team at support@norgenbiotek.com and ask for reference publications.
According to protocol, the tube can be store between -20°C to -70°C in order to stabilize the RNA for longer period of time. Alternatively, the end-user can aliquot the small volume of homogeneous mixture (after sample collection and mixing) from the stool tube to microcentrifuge tube and then store at -80°C. This aliquoting method also prevents the multiple freeze and thaw cycles that may impact on RNA quality.
