SYNCstore STM 1ml with Nasal Swab or Buccal Swab (1 swab per tube)

Covid-19 Solutions/Sample Storage BufferThe SYNCstore™ STM is a specimen transport medium and designed for sample collection, shipping, and storage, especially suitable for nasopharyngeal/ oropharyngeal swabs. In addition, the SYNCstore™ STM can be used for virus/bacteria inactivation and DNA/RNA stabilization. Samples in SYNCstore™ STM stored at 22-27℃ is stable for 1 week and at -20℃ or -70℃ is stable for months to 1 year. The SYNCstore™ STM is compatible with most of nucleic acid extraction kits, including column based and magnetic beads based kits. The purified DNA/RNA from SYNCstore™ STM is suitable for subsequent nucleic acid tests (NAT) such as qPCR and qRT-PCR.

SYNCstore^TM STM Test Data

Test 1 .Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) were grown to 0.8 of OD600. A 10,000x dilution was made, same amount cells with SYNCstore^TM STM treatment at room temperature for 1 hour and without treatment were plated on BAP plates and incubated for 48 hrs. The results showed that the Staphylococcus aureus cells can be completely killed by SYNCstore^TM STM.

Test 2 .Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) were grown to 0.8 of OD600. A 10,000x dilution was made, same amount cells with SYNCstore^TM STM treatment at room temperature for 1 hour and without treatment were plated on LB plates and incubated for 18 hrs. The results showed that the Escherichia coli cells can be completely killed by SYNCstore^TM STM.
Virus killing

The MS2 phage (RNA, non-enveloped, icosohedral virus) with SYNCstore^TM STM treatment and without treatment were mixed with the cells and pour to a plate with a lawn of actively growing compatible bacteria. After overnight growth, the plaques can be visualized, quantitated, and then titer determined. The results showed that the MS2 phage can be completely killed by SYNCstore^TM STM.
RNA stability

SYNCstore^TM STM provides long-term storage of Escherichia coli total RNA. It efficiently protects all RNA species (23S RNA, 16S, RNA, mRNA, and 5S RNA/tRNA from nucleases attacking. Lane 1: Original RNA. Lane 2: RNA stored in the SYNCstore^TM STM medium for 1 day at room temperature. Lane 3: RNA stored in the SYNCstore^TM STM medium for 2 days at room temperature. Lane 4: RNA stored in the SYNCstore^TM STM medium for 3 days at room temperature. Lane 5: RNA stored in the SYNCstore^TM STM medium for 7 days at room temperature.
Compatible to spin column and magnetic bead nucleic acid purification kits

Different copy numbers of nucleic acid from M13 DNA phage, MS2 RNA phage, long synthetic oligo DNA, HBV DNA virus, HCV RNA virus, and human genomic DNA were spiked into SYNCstore^TM STM. The nucleic acid were then purified from SYNCstore^TM STM medium using spin column and magnetic beads format kits individually. The nucleic acid recovery were determined by qPCR or qRT-PCR.
