Isohelix is pleased to announce that it has engaged ‘AJW Technology’ as the Swiss Representative for the ‘GeneFiX DNA/RNA Collectors’ and ‘Isohelix DNA/RNA Buccal Swabs’ to ensure a smooth device registration and supply of these products into the Swiss market.
As studies and testing facilities are having greater numbers demanded of them, the requirement to utilize automation and high-throughput systems is becoming more and more common. To address these demands Isohelix has developed an exciting range of automation friendly high throughput tubes and caps designed to increase output and ease of use, using a universal design to fit various racking and robotic systems.
Read further to find out more information about the benefits and advantages of our automation and high-throughput tubes and caps and see how they can assist you in your next existing and future studies.
All of our GeneFix Saliva Collection tubes include a unique 10 digit, alphanumeric 1D barcode on the side of the tube. This allows for full traceability of the sample from production through to distribution and testing.
We test our barcodes regularly to ensure that they are scannable on all common readers, including those widely available on mobile phones so that even patients at home can scan their devices to provide additional traceability.
Now available on our GFXH2 variants, the tubes can be specified with a 2D barcode on the base of the tube that corresponds with the 1D barcode on the side.
By having a 2D barcode available on the base of tube, this allows automation systems to scan the barcodes whilst in racking to maintain traceability whilst using high-throughput methods.
The design and dimensions of our automation friendly tubes have been specified to fit most widely available tube racks, meaning that they can easily be introduced to existing systems and methods without altering existing equipment or having to add new equipment. This means valuable time and effort saved in your study as well as the obvious financial savings from not having to invest in new equipment.
All of the GFXH tubes have been designed with an automation friendly, auto-de-capping cap design that features both inner and outer grab facilities. Each tube also features a locking base design. All of these features allow high-throughput systems to remove the caps automatically, vastly reducing manual input requirements and processing times.
Cell Projects and Isohelix renew both ISO13485 and ISO9001 certifications following an external renewal audit.

Isohelix has launched a new Isolation kit designed especially for the swift and simple preparation of total human, viral and microbial RNA from stabilized saliva and swab samples.
Xtreme RNA is free from toxic reagents such as guanidine, phenol, chloroform, & β-mercaptoethanol.
Extracted samples are of high purity, ideal for use in downstream applications such as rt-qPCR and gene expression studies. Xtreme RNA is also scalable and can accommodate various sample input volumes
The unique properties of Isohelix stabilization chemistry combined with a rigorous Proteinase K digest to eliminate ubiquitous RNAses allows for isolation of high yield, high purity total RNA from stabilized saliva & swab samples.

The Genefix HT tubes are available for collection of 1ml, 2ml and 3ml of saliva, and all importantly offer the same specification as the existing GeneFix Collection range for ease of collection, non hazardous, non toxic offering long term stabilization of DNA/RNA at room temperature and universal integration into most downstream processes.
The is an easy to use oral microbiome DNA collection kit that has been optimised for the collection of oral microbiome samples using saliva.
Whereas traditional methods of collection and storage of microbiome samples include freezing, which often presents challenges in cold chain transport and storage or can complicate technical viability in the collection process, our MFX-01 collectors can be transported and stored at room temperature whilst still stabilising DNA for up to 12 months.

The is our new product that has been fully optimised for stabilising gut microbiome DNA.
Once a sample has been collected using one of our , it can be placed inside the StoolFix™ tube where the DNA is stabilised for up to 2 months at room temperature.

The Isohelix DNA/RNA GeneFix saliva and buccal collection and isolation chemistries are now fully integrated into the Autogen FlexSTAR DNA automation systems, aiding the processing of larger samples volumes without detriment to high purity and yields of gDNA.
Isohelix has launched a novel kit for the rapid preparation of PCR-Ready DNA from GeneFix and BuccalFix stabilised samples.
The Salivalyse novel chemistry removes potent inhibitors quickly and efficiently, from varying sample volumes and used directly in PCR and qPCR.
With less time spent on sample preparation, further optimises PCR and qPCR work flows.
