Stool DNA Collection & Stabilization Kit – Microbiome Research – Canvax

Stool Sample Collection & Stabilization Kit

Name: Stool Sample Collection &amp; Stabilization Kit
SKU: SC0010
Availability: InStock

Room-temperature kit for fast, mess-free stool collection and DNA stabilization—ideal for gut-microbiome profiling and pathogen detection.

Stool DNA Collection & Stabilization Kit is an all-in-one solution for hassle-free stool sampling in microbiome, metagenomics and infectious-disease projects. Each screw-cap tube is pre-filled with 8 mL of proprietary DNA stabilization buffer that immediately inactivates nucleases and halts microbial growth, preserving native community structure. It maintains DNA integrity for 2 months at 15-25 °C and indefinitely at −20 °C or −80 °C. This product allows safe, odor-free transport by regular mail—no dry ice required—cutting shipping costs up to 70 %.

The ergonomic sampling spoon built into the cap enables self-collection in few seconds, while the wide-mouth design prevents spills. Tubes are 100 % compatible with Canvax HigherPurity™ Stool DNA Isolation Kit and with common column- and/or magnetic-bead workflows. Variant SC0016 bundles the disposable Stool Catcher sheets to simplify at-home sampling.

Quality Control

DNA isolated from 200 mg feces preserved with our sample collection kit quantified by spectrophotometer and analysed by electrophoreshis.
Stabilization Buffer is manufactured in an ISO 13485:2016 and GMP-certified facility, located in Boecillo, Valladolid (Spain), under ISO9001:2016 procedures to ensure the highest quality standards. Our processes include:
- - Batch-to-batch consistency.
  - Facilities audited regularly Quality audits.
  - Lot specific CoAs and QA review previously to release a product.
  - Material traceability, documented procedures and documented employee training.
  - Equipment maintenance and monitoring records.

Advice

For DNA Purification/Extraction, we highly recommend the use HigherPurity™ Stool DNA Extraction Kit.
