NutraSafe 1™ Lysis Buffer
NutraSafe 1™ Lysis Buffer
Maintains DNA/RNA integrity during ambient temperature transport and storage.
NutraSafe 1™ Lysis Buffer is a DNA and RNA transport and storage medium for nasal and throat swab samples. NutraSafe 1™ Lysis Buffer preserves the genetic integrity and expression profiles of samples at ambient and high temperatures (no refrigeration or freezing needed) and inactivates infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi, & parasites). Nucleic acid from samples stored in this transport buffer is compatible with most DNA and RNA purification kits. Nasal and throat swabs can also be purchase here

Product Performance
Nutrasafe 1™ Lysis Buffer has been internally validated by AthenaTecs’ R&D teams to ensure robust performance in a variety of research settings:
-
Shelf life: 12 months (unopened)
-
Suitable for use in academic, field, and surveillance research involving human and environmental samples.
AthenaTecs validates each batch to ensure consistency and reliability, supporting trust in new-generation RUO products.
Estimated Sample Capacity Assuming a recommended usage of 1 mL per sample, the estimated number of samples per bottle is: * based on formula: Number of samples = Total buffer volume (in µL) ÷ Volume per sample (in µL)
| Bottle Size | Approx. Number of Samples |
|---|---|
| 100 mL | 100 samples |
| 500 mL | 500 samples |
