Streck® Urine Preserve

Streck Urine Preserve is a liquid reagent that stabilizes nucleic acid targets in 25 mL to 100 mL of urine for up to 7 days at 6 °C to 37 °C. This preservative limits the lysis of cellular material, which can lead to the contamination of true cell-free targets present at the time of sample collection, and inhibits the nuclease mediated degradation of nucleic acids during room temperature storage. With Streck Urine Preserve, you can implement batch processing and bulk handling while eliminating the need for immediate processing or cold chain management.

Once isolated, the nucleic acid targets are suitable for use in many downstream analytical methods such as qPCR, ddPCR and others.

Features

• 7-day sample stability when stored at 6 °C to 37 °C
• Contains a PCR compatible blue dye to provide visual reassurance that reagent has been added
• Available in single-use containers to treat 25 mL to 100 mL of urine
• Isolated nucleic acids are suitable for many downstream applications

Benefits

• Can easily be added to urine samples at time of collection
• Reduces the need for immediate sample extraction
• Room temperature storage reduces costs and complications associated with cold chain shipping
• Inhibits nuclease degradation and cell lysis to maintain the collection-time concentrations of nucleic acids in urine
• For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
