GenSwab specifically designed for easy collection and long-term preservation of buccal samples to achieve high recovery of DNA and high quality genetic profiles.
GenSwab results from the collaboration between Ahlstrom-Munksjö and Gentueri, two companies with several decades of experience in the design of products and custom kits.
GenSwab allows easy collection and long-term preservation of buccal samples at ambient temperature, safeguarding their quality over time for downstream processing and improving sample traceability with multiple barcodes.
The device is manufactured in compliance with the ISO 18385:2016 standard.

The GenSwab design
This Gentueri device has a foam swab that is rubbed on the inside of your cheek to collect saliva and buccal cells. The wrapper on the GenSaver 2.0 Color Card is unwrapped, the swab is folded over the card and the wrapper is replaced over the card so the user can squeeze the sample and transfer it to the GenSaver 2.0 Color Card for long-term preservation. The card is shipped to the laboratory in the GenPouch and after punching the card can be stored in the GenKeep at room temperature for over twenty-five years. The GenSwab can be customized to meet your requirements. ©Gentueri.
