About Mawi DNA Technologies

mawi_clipped_rev_1 124hWe are a United States based company developing unique biosample collection technologies enabling universal sample collection from any population segment including animals, that also allow samples to be transported and stored at room temperature. The innovative design of our iSWAB™ biosample collection products allow for release of cells captured from almost any swab into a proprietary buffer. iSWAB samples can be used for simple or complex applications in multiomics-based analysis.

We have overcome the problems of low recovery, high bacterial content, low quality DNA, and excessive resampling costs common to most current sample collection methods.

iSWAB-DSC (Discovery)
teal

Picture1iSWAB-Discovery is a DNA collection kit for humans or animals that can capture samples producing robust yields of double stranded, long fragmented DNA from buccal cells using a single traditional swab.

Ideal for:  Paternity Testing – Genealogy and Ancestry – Population Studies – Animal Speciation and Genomics

FEATURES:

  • High nucleic acid recovery: Up to 7µg of double stranded, long fragment DNA for downstream applications including microarray and NGS
  • Low bacterial genomic DNA contamination: Achieve less than 3% bacterial genomic DNA contamination
  • Swab-free sample transport: Decrease sample processing time without compromising sample integrity
  • ISWAB-DSC30621-300Room temperature stable: Reduces sample storage and transport costs by eliminating cold chain requirements. Stable for 5 years post collection at RT
  • Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB device for efficient traceability and storage purposes

Product Description
The iSWAB-DSC device allows for the collection and stabilization of DNA at the point of collection without the need for swab inclusion. Typical yields of between 2-7μg (iSWAB-DSC) of DNA with <3% bacterial contamination can be achieved. The gentle collection and lysis chemistry of the alcohol-free iSWAB buffer allows for recovery of double-Picture3stranded, large fragment DNA similar to the genomic DNA generated from blood, making it suitable for complex genomics downstream arrays such as microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing. Other non-invasive collection methods often utilize alcohol and can produce short DNA fragments limiting their usability to basic genotyping applications.

Available In: Kit includes 1 DSC device, Rack includes 50 DSC devices in safe Transport and Storage case. Bag includes 500 DSC devices in an easy transport bag.

iSWAB-Microbiome
Picture14_clipped_rev_1

The iSWAB-Microbiome (MB) is a non-toxic stabilizing technology that enables inactivation of bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses, allows ambient collection and transport of various biosamples, including nasal, oral, gut/fecal, skin, vaginal, and soil/surface. Purified microbial DNA or RNA isolated from collected samples are compatible with qPCR, microarray, and NGS for microbiome research in health, wellness, and forensics.

Ideal for: Non-invasive sample collection and room temperature storage for microbial DNA and RNA from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.

FEATURES:

  • iSWAB-MB-120030608-300wNon-toxic stabilization; no organic, hazardous solvent fixatives or detergents.
  • No bloom effect correction needed for microbiome data. Both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial communities stabilized from collection to processing.
  • The stabilization buffer efficiently inactivates bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses allowing safe transport of biological samples.
  • Ambient temperature transport and storage with no cold chain involvement.
  • Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB device for efficient traceability and storage purposes.
  • Microbial DNA is stable for up to 40 days and microbial RNA is stable for up to 21 days at room temperature.

isswab microbiomeAvailable In: Kit includes 1 MB device; Rack includes 50 MB devices in safe Transport and Storage case. Bag includes 500 MB devices in an easy transport bag.

Product Description:
The iSWAB™-Microbiome (iSWAB™-MB) collection device consists of a collection device that is pre-filled with 1.0 mL of the iSWAB™-MB non-toxic, stabilizing buffer and fitted with a proprietary insert. The insert is designed to optimize the release of specimens collected with swabs into the stabilizing buffer, creating a minimal footprint and allowing for swab-free transport of specimens. The iSWAB™-MB buffer is designed to maintain the status quo of samples at the time of collection, providing a representative snapshot of the microbial community that remains unchanged from the point of collection to processing.

iSWAB-Microbiome-Extraction-Less (EL)
teal

Picture15Mawi DNA Technologies has developed a modified “extraction-less” version of the iSWAB technology. The iSWAB-Microbiome-Extraction-Less (EL) is designed to eliminate the RNA extraction step in the COVID-19 Molecular testing workflow, allowing researchers to perform direct RT-PCR on individual and pooled samples.

Ideal for iSWAB-Microbiome-Extraction-Less (EL) is compatible with both nasal and saliva collection, inactivates SARS-CoV-2 for safe collection and storage.

Features:

  • Non-toxic stabilization; no organic, hazardous solvent fixatives or detergents, upholds the integrity of sample with no degradation
  • Extraction-less, extraction-free PCR to eliminate the RNA extraction step in the COVID-19 testing workflow; allowing researchers to perform direct RT-PCR on individual and pooled samples.
  • Efficiently inactivates SARS-CoV-2 virus and other bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses to allow safe transport of biological samples.
  • Diminish risk of infection during sample collection process.
    Ambient temperature Long term room temperature stabilization up to 28 days for nasal specimens and 17 days for saliva specimen.
  • Compatible with any nasal and or/ saliva collection swabs.
  • Traceable: LIMS compatible unique barcodes included on each iSWAB device for efficient traceability and storage purposes.
  • Available In: Rack includes 50 MB-EL devices in safe Transport and Storage case. Bag includes 500 MB-EL devices in an easy transport bag.

Product Description:
The iSWAB™-Microbiome-Extraction-Less (iSWAB™-MB-EL) collection device consists of a collection device that is pre-filled with 800 μL of the iSWAB™-MB-Extraction-Less (EL) non-toxic, stabilizing buffer and fitted with a proprietary insert. The insert is designed to optimize the release of specimens collected with swabs into the stabilizing buffer, creating a minimal footprint and allowing for swab-free transport of specimens. The iSWAB™-MB-Extraction-Less (EL) collection device eliminates the costly and time-consuming RNA isolation step from diagnostic workflows.
